Film Notes and Highlights
Javon Solomon is an electric speed rusher. He has great bend and active hands, taking advantage of his size against bigger and slower offensive linemen. Solomon’s speed is impressive and he has a great motor. He played throughout the DL at Troy despite his size, and held his own in the interior. He also was used in coverage and performed adequately. Solomon is best suited as a 5t at the next level with potential to shift to a Will LB due to his size. I believe Javon Solomon is an early (4th round) Day 3 prospect. – Thomas Christopher
