Film Notes and Highlights

Justin Eboigbe is an Edge who was used at a variety of positions at Alabama. Eboigbe is a great run stuffer, reading his blocks well and showing great strength to hold at the LOS. He’s strong at the tackle point and is good at shedding blocks, with good hand placement. He’s also an underrated pass rusher, but his lack of acceleration makes it hard for him to truly be a dominant force in that regard. Eboigbe can struggle containing the edge, showing some difficulty processing RPOs. I think Eboigbe is an early Day 3 prospect who can be a tweener in a 4-3 at the NFL level. If he’s able to improve his acceleration and speed he can be a force. – Thomas Christopher
