| Cordarro Law Scouting Report |
| Cordarro Law - Southern Mississippi (HT: 6-2 - WT: 261) |
Positives -- Great first step; fires off the ball very well and is excellent at anticipating the snap of the ball... A handful to block, very quick and powerful when engaging with offensive linemen... Good pass rush ability, knows how to get after the passer and does whatever it takes to get a sack... Solid closing
speed; when he gets close to the quarterback there's a good chance that he'll get the sack... Adept at forcing turnovers; his pass rush ability makes quarterbacks throw the ball early for interceptions or hold on to it where he can force a fumble... Very good at penetrating the line of scrimmage and finishing plays there, had 22 tackles for a loss in 2011... Always plays at full speed; relentless motor, never gives up on plays and is always pushing himself to get better... Football smart, has great awareness and a high IQ; should be able to contribute as a situational pass rusher early in his career.
Negatives -- His height and short arms will cause him to slip into the later rounds of the draft; may be forced to move to outside linebacker but he has virtually no experience there... Because of that he is virtually a man without a position; a team will really have to fall in love with him at either defensive end or outside linebacker or he could just be a situational pass rusher for the majority of his career... A little bit older than most prospects, will turn 24 during his rookie season... Level of competition is a concern; will need to adjust to the high quality of all the players he lines up against... Needs get stronger or he could be dominated at the point of attack by bigger players... Relies a little too much on his finesse moves; needs to have at least the threat of using the bull rush.
