โLower-body weight and strength.ย
โNatural leverage that makes him hard to move one-on-one.ย ย
โBig-bodied bully (6'1", 318 lbs) who can two-gap and shuck blockers at will.ย
โExplodes through the hips and locks out his arms.ย
WEAKNESSES
โSlow to shoot his hands.ย
โSaw a lot of single-teams because opponents were so worried about Leki Fotu and Bradlee Anae.ย
โLittle to no agility down the line; makes the plays that are run at him.ย
โDoesn't provide a pass rush and will come off the field in passing situations.ย
OVERALL
An ideal nose tackle or 1-technique who can stuff the run, Penisini is tailor-made for a 3-4 defense or short-yardage situations. Don't expect much in the way of pass-rushing productivity, because that isn't who he is, but he has potential to see the field as a gap-plugger.
GRADE: 56
PRO COMPARISON: Malcolm Brown/C.J. Mosley
