Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Walker has an impressive blend of length and movement skills, capable of dominating shorter interior blockers as a penetrator and showing lateral agility in addition to speed in pursuit.
  • Delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to make plays in the hole or outside the box. Uses lower-body strength to anchor inside.
  • Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which Walker uses with impressive precision.
  • Possesses the length and power to ward off offensive tackles.
  • Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
  • Walker is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and he displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Walker remains a bit raw, as Walker is inconsistent with his hand use and lacks violence in his hands
  • Because he doesn’t show much variety in his pass-rush moves, he may have to come offthe field on third downs.
  • Walker lacks overall physicality and often plays with poor balance.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
