Scouting Report: Strengths
- Reimer shows good speed and closing burst when blitzing.
- He’s built like a defensive back but hits like a linebacker. Milano has sideline-to-sideline range and is a violent, wrap-up hitter.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- Has enough twitch and speed to make an impact coming off the edge as a third-down specialist.
- He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- He’s effective in pursuit when chasing down backs as a run defender, and Reimer has the athleticism to cover a lot of ground when dropping into coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks pop and strength to anchor, though. Most effective when uncovered inside and chasing stretch plays to the sideline.
- As a run defender, he’s too much of a grab-and-drag tackler, lacking violence and too frequently allowing running backs to escape.
- Reimer doesn’t play with the functional strength and physicality to fight through blocks; he’ll need to be covered up in order to maximize his playmaking.
