Keldric Faulk Scouting Report

Keldric Faulk is a versatile edge rusher with a physical, violent temperament that also has high-end upside as a pass rusher.

Draft Grade: Round 2 - Winning Starter

Strengths:

Run Defense: At this point in his career, Faulk appears to have the physical traits and technique that translate to him being an immediate high-end defender against the run at the edge position. 

Alignment-Versatile: Faulk can align in any alignment from 0-tech to 5-tech along the defensive front and be impactful. 

Physical Temperament: Part of Faulk's success is because he plays with a violent temperament and will seek high-impact collisions to set a physical tone.

Prototype Build/Length: Faulk has a frame that will allow him to play in multiple alignments. He can put weight on to fit a different position along the defensive line or drop weight to play another position along the defensive front. 

Concerns:

Elite Athleticism: Does Faulk have the elite explosiveness and quickness to consistently win around the edge against high-end athletic NFL OTs?

Handling Double Teams: There are reps where Faulk is displaced off the line of scrimmage against double teams.
