Film Notes and Highlights
Adisa Isaac is an excellent pass rush specialist. He has great lateral movement, bend, and motor that helps him create havoc on opposing quarterbacks. At times he can be overpowered at the point of attack and that can hinder him in the run game. However, there are plenty of examples of him making huge plays holding the edge against the run in clutch situations. Isaac showed some prowess playing in zone coverage, but it’s unlikely he will be successful in coverage at the pro level. It’s hard to determine if he can become a three-down player in the NFL, but he’s one of the best pure pass rushers in this draft class and should be a Day 2 selection. – Thomas Christopher
