Jaguars' Hypothetical Alvin Kamara Trade Offer
โPlayed nearly 2,500 snaps throughout his collegiate career; three-year starter in a highly competitive conference.
โSolid pass-rushing skills can add some versatility as an occasional blitzer; attacks half-man and can use speed and undersized frame to his advantage.
WEAKNESSES
โTackling consistency is a major concern and will only be exploited further in the NFL; must do a better job of shooting his hands through contact and finishing with his lower body.ย
โRoutinely fails to play the appropriate hip and remain in-phase in man coverage; allows far too many completions.
โLack of overall length on frame will lead to an inability to challenge contested catches by receivers who can play the ball like rebounders.ย
โManipulated fairly easily and struggles to identify keys and immediately trigger downhill in run support.
OVERALL
Brunson made some flashes but failed to ever string together consistency in the run or pass game. His leadership and character could earn him a roster spot, but he has to improve as a downhill attacker to be more than a depth linebacker and likely scout-team performer.
GRADE: 49
PRO COMPARISON: Deone Bucannon/Ahmad Thomas
