Film Notes and Highlights

At times, Edefuan Ulofoshio seems completely lost at the position. This is especially true if his coverage assignment is blocking – where Ulofoshio will just drift on the field. He has a hard time diagnosing plays and reading blocks, and gets fooled easily by misdirection. Ulofoshio takes incredibly bad angles that take him out of plays completely. He is also weak and hesitant at the tackle point, continuously getting carried by ball carriers or whiffing on tackles completely. When he chooses to be aggressive, he has a lot more success. He surprisingly does well shedding blocks, but doesn’t follow through on that aggression going into the gap and tackle point. I believe Edefuan Ulofoshio is a 7th round (or UDFA) prospect. – Thomas Christopher
