POSITIVES

— Great RAS of 9.60 out of 10.

— Has plenty of speed when coming downhill to be an effective blitzer and get unblocked tackles for loss. Can blitz from depth to avoid tipping it and tests offensive linemen's ability to adjust on the fly.

— Speed for decent range when he does read plays quickly.

— Closes quickly in zone coverage.

— Good pass-rush production for an off-ball linebacker with eight sacks in the last two years. Had decent ball production with 10 passes defended in the last three years.

---

NEGATIVES

— Slow to key and diagnose run plays and recognize blocking schemes. Will get beat to the spot after taking too long to read keys.

— Isn't a knockback tackler and likes to catch running backs, leading to yards after contact.

— Struggles to recognize passing concepts and will lose receivers in coverage because of it.

— Takes on blocks square, lacks strength to hold his ground and will get stuck on blocks as a run defender.

OVERALL

Jordan Magee's game is rooted in speed and athleticism. He also has a decent frame that has room for growth, which helps make him an interesting project at linebacker.

However, Magee is more of an athlete than a football player right now, as his instincts and situational awareness are subpar. He could also afford to add some size and strength to play the run.
