EDTShareTweetShareShareAtlanta Falcons NFL Draft prospect scouting report: Clelin Ferrell, DE , Clemson Joshua S. Kelly-USA TODAY SportsHere’s another option for the Atlanta Falcons to address their pass rushing issues in the 2019 NFL Draft. In Clemson, South Carolina, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has manufactured a prominent source of top-notch NFL talent. Alongside with their establishment as a National Championship contender is the conception that the program produces prospects that NFL teams covet regularly. This draft season is no different. In recent years, the Atlanta Falcons have tapped the well a few times, specifically with Vic Beasley and Grady Jarrett. The Falcons are still in need of help along the defensive line Stitched Duke Riley Jersey , and the Tigers so happen to have a number of prospects that the Falcons have showed interest in. If the Falcons are to stay put at 14th overall in the first round, here is a defensive end prospect to keep an eye on. Clelin Ferrell Scouting Report Height: 6’4 Weight: 265 lbs Career stats: 166 tackles, 50.5 tackles for loss, 27 sacks Games watched: 2017 vs. Auburn, 2017 vs. NC State, 2017 vs. Alabama, 2017 vs. Florida State, 2018 vs. Boston College, 2018 vs. Texas A&M Youth Duke Riley Jersey , 2019 vs. Alabama Strengths: Accolades piled up for Ferrell after this past season with first team All-ACC honors, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and a first-team All-American nod, along with the Ted Hendricks award for the top defensive end in all of college football. Ferrell possesses favorable NFL size at 6’4 and 265 pounds. Along with the size comes great hand size at 10.5 inches. Partly because of that hand size, Ferrell has great hand usage when battling opposing linemen by shedding blockers efficiently and swiping away the hands of offensive linemen. Ferrell utilizes a deep bag of pass-rushing moves from clubs and rips to swims, and is effective in playing either underneath or over the top in designed stunts. He has the arm length to consistently prevent blockers from getting inside his pads and many times, wins the leverage battle in that way. Ferrell’s vision is also a plus thanks to his ability to diagnose blocking schemes and reacting accordingly. His play strength allows him to be more than capable of establishing the edge in run defense and is tough to move at the point of attack. Jerome Miron-USA TODAY SportsWeaknesses: Ferrell’s lateral agility is commonly questioned thanks to a lack of fluidity in his hips. It definitely showed during the 2017 season as Ferrell’s playing weight was closer to 280 pounds. The added weight slowed his ability to turn and move even more. Ferrell has shown some struggles in space throughout his entire career. Ferrell has some athleticism in his game but not enough to consistently win against blockers with it. Ferrell is able to turn the corner against tackles, but has adequate closing burst on the quarterback. Ferrell played with prime NFL talent throughout his collegiate career and faces questions of whether he is a beneficiary because of it. Conclusion: Ferrell is a unique prospect in this draft. He has plenty of production, especially over the course of the last two seasons at Clemson. He has garnered plenty of accolades and is just about a surefire first-round pick in this year’s draft. However Stitched Ito Smith Jersey , there is a but. The but is that even with him being one of the first 32 players selected in this year’s draft, he probably has the lowest ceiling of any of the top edge rushers in this draft. It is not to say that Ferrell will not be good at the next level; he has a significant chance of being just that. What many wonder, including myself, is how good can Ferrell be. Based on his overall skill set, I don’t expect Ferrell to be a difference making pass rusher in the same class as J.J. Watt, Joey Bosa, Myles Garrett, or Von Miller. But what I do expect is a pass rusher who wins off strength and technique and is able to be a key part of a team’s pass rush. His skill set clearly states that he is a strong-side defensive end, and in the Falcons defensive scheme Youth Ito Smith Jersey , Ferrell can see time on the field on all three downs. If selected at 14th overall by the Falcons, Ferrell can be an asset in Year 1 and beyond. While he may not necessarily be an elite difference maker, with a little polish, Ferrell can help form a really good tandem on the edge alongside third-year defensive end Takk McKinley. At a time when some think that the Falcons will be parting ways with veteran defensive end Vic Beasley, the Falcons don’t plan to end their relationship with the 2015 first-round pick. Currently.Via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, coach Dan Quinn said that keeping Beasley around is “the plan right now.”“I’m very excited about where I think he can go to, and we’ve had good conversations about the impact that he can make,” Quinn said regarding the man who in his second NFL season led the league in sacks with 15.5. “The biggest impact that he can make is doing it really consistently.”After racking up an average of nearly one sack per game in 2016, Beasley has had a grand total of 10 sacks. His fifth-year option salary of $12.819 million is due to become fully guaranteed on the first day of the league year.But while the Falcons apparently won’t be dumping Beasley before he hits the books for $12.819 million for the 2019 league year Stitched Deadrin Senat Jersey , Beasley will need to earn a second contract.“He’s knows that,” Quinn said. “We know that. . . . If he’s the competitor we think he is, then those are the moments you live for. I’m excited to see what he can be this year.”Beasley partially moved to outside linebacker in 2017 before moving back to defensive end in 2018. His ability to cash in with a big-money long-term deal with the Falcons or someone else will depend on what he does in the coming season at defensive end.
