Scouting Report: Strengths
- Rubio has heavy hands and uses them aggressively, rocking offensive linemen back. He shows the ability to disengage and out-grapple blockers in a phone booth.
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
- He has violent hands and the long arms to ward off blockers. Rubio plays with a good pad level and can win with power as a bull rusher.
- Flashes an explosive burst and can surprise better overall athletes with his ability to get upfield. Has a closing burst when given a free lane. Has the frame to consider moving inside
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His spin move is a bit slow and mechanical. He’s susceptible to cut blocks, a tactic that was used on him often
- Undersized and lacks elite bulk and girth for an interior defensive lineman - will be scheme specific in the NFL.
- His pass rush moves need refinement, and Rubio doesn’t have a lot of range in coverage.
