Isaiah Foskey Draft Profile

Player: Isaiah Foskey 

School: Notre Dame

Measurables:

  • Height: 6’5”
  • Weight: 265
  • 40:
  • Bench:
  • Vertical Jump:
  • Broad Jump:
  • 3 Cone:
  • 20 Yard Shuttle:
  • Other Notes:

Graded Position Traits:

  • Athleticism: 8/10 (Looks to be a pretty good athlete with high end speed)
  • Bend: 7/10 (Uses mostly speed to get by tackles but does show good bend to get through contact. Would like to see him be able to dip and bend more to get around better tackles but nothing suggests he cannot do this)
  • Burst: 8/10 (Pretty good burst that he alternates)
  • Durability: 10/10 ( Has almost no injury history)
  • Hands: 6/10 (Uses his hands primarily to slap and push away contact. Would like to see him get his hands on tackles more and win that way, although there are rare examples of this)
  • Pass Rushing Moves: 6/10 (Uses a chop move primarily to get tackles out of the way. With his speed this is a good move, but it did not work against better tackles. We would like to see him develop different moves to pair with this)
  • Run Defense: 6/10 (Does not hold the edge as much as you want in run defense, but he is also no slouch here)
  • Strength: 7/10 (Overpowered lesser competition easily, but struggled against Ohio State tackles mightily in this area)
  • Tackling: 7/10 ( For some reason his arm length seems shorter than you want. This could lead to tackling issues, but nothing suggests on film that he is a bad tackler)
  • Versatility: 6/10 (Should be able to play all over the line although he did not do this in college much. Athleticism suggests he could play off ball but this would not be the best use of his abilities)

Prospect Grade: 71/100; 71% (Pro Bowl Potential)

Projected Draft Day:1 

Player Comparison: Jayson Oweh 

Player Summary:

Foskey is a great athlete with a decent feel for the pass rushing position. He needs more time to develop his technique to catch up to his athleticism, however he should be a very good prospect with flexibility to play in different alignments on the defense while he develops.
