Jonathan Garvin | Edge | Miami | 6'4" - 263 lbs.

Overview
Traits-based edge defender capable of playing 4-3 end or 3-4 rush linebacker. Garvin's strong 2018 was followed up with inconsistent effort and an inability to stamp his presence on games with much consistency. He gains depth upfield quickly and is fairly natural at defeating the punch and flipping the corner. Pressures are nice, but sack-makers get paid and that won't happen unless he cranks up the effort and plays to his traits and potential. Garvin has Day 2 talent, but may not go until Day 3. However, there might be gold to mine if a coach can get it out of him.

Strengths

• First three upfield steps gain space in race to the turnRushes with good forward lean
  Works to half-man attack consistently
  Intriguing instincts and hand usage to grease the edge and access the pocket
  Closing burst to walk down scrambling quarterbacks
  Looks lean but can pop and stop a pulling guard
  Uses length to separate and find tackle opportunities
  Clicks physicality switch when he needs to
  Long strides are rangy in pursuit
  Has grown into long frame, but still has room for more

Weaknesses

• Smooth frame lacks definition and weight room receiptsUrgency and consistent explosiveness are missing from his rush
  Not enough secondary effort when early rush attempt stalls
  Inside counter is missing from his rush plan
  Seemed to be coasting and getting by at times in 2019
  Additional play strength is needed
  Will give ground at the point of attack
  Gets jostled and knocked off-balance

Definitely looks like a project with some upside.

". . . lacks weight room receipts"

I like that turn of phrase for some reason. Such a polite way of saying "disgusting fatbody."
