Scouting Report: Strengths
- A technician with a high motor, Page has a variety of moves and displays exceptionally good hand use. Page shows a strong finishing burst and has the power to hold at the point of attack as a run defender.
- Flashes quick hands to slap away blocks, but too oft~n gets caught in the hand-fighting at the line rather than quickly disengaging.
- Flashes exciting burst off the snap to penetrate. Can slip through gaps with his get-off and is an intimidating force for quarterbacks to avoid.
- A high-motor pass rusher with good quickness, Page has a compact but wide frame and long arms.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- He’s ready for the physicality of the NFL; he has a stout build, strong core and powerful limbs to step in right away as a three-down player.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Page is a bit underpowered, often playing too high and struggling to hold the point of attack against double teams.
- Possesses excellent weight-room strength, although it doesn't always translate onto his play.
- Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks much technique in his repertoire.

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.
