Marquan McCall NFL Draft Profile
|
Marquan McCall Scouting ReportMarquan has surprising initial quickness off the snap. Relies mostly on a simple bull rush at this point, which is quite effective in collapsing the pocket. He provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique. His ability to clog running lanes, however, is a talent highly coveted in the NFL. Marquan can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield. He's clearly a boom or bust prospect, but has the unique physical gifts make him a candidate to play up and down the line in either front. Marquan gets his big hands up to block passes if unable to beat his man, and follows the quarterback on moving pockets and sniffs out screens. He pops off tape due to his explosive first few steps. While powerful, doesn't rock the guard/ center back with his upper-body strength or explode into tackles.

Areas for ImprovementMcCall struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher. His short arms could lead to problems against NFL-caliber offensive linemen with longer arms able to get into his chest. He isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
