Kingsley Keke NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Green Bay Packers' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Had a four-year impact at Texas A&M and has the NFL traits to play either defensive end or defensive tackle, depending on the scheme.

—His athleticism and strength check the boxes pro teams want. Can scoot past blockers with his quickness and does counter well with strength when asked to stack blockers.

—Shed 20 pounds and became much more agile. Teams running 3-4 schemes might ask him to put the weight back on to play 5-technique defensive end.

—Has the moves scouts want from a defensive lineman with good quickness, light feet and an assortment of pass-rushing moves that allow him to win in space.

—His pursuit is ideal, and he will chase down ball-carriers on outside runs, screens and quick passes outside the hashes.

WEAKNESSES

—Tweener body (6'3", 288 pounds) that might not be a fit for every defensive scheme and could drive down his stock as teams see him as more rotational than starter quality.

—Soft at the point of attack and can be walked back and controlled by blockers. Could stand to add lower-body strength or potentially regain lost weight.

—Lets himself stick to blockers and tries too often to go through his man instead of working to counter and go around him.

—Never put together production that demanded attention from opposing offensive lines. Was a good but never great player in the SEC.

—Has an inconsistent motor when it comes to trying to get off blocks and into the backfield. He often gives up after first contact with a lineman and must become more urgent and aggressive.

OVERALL

Teams will love the combination of athleticism and versatility when looking at Keke's tape, but there are legitimate concerns about his ability to unstick from blockers and make plays in the backfield consistently. He's looked as more of a sub-package rusher than an every-down stud.

GRADE: 5.99 (ROUND 3-4 — FUTURE STARTER)
