Raheem Brock of Temple Football
SELECTED BY PHILADELPHIA , ROUND 7, OVERALL PICK 238 - DE
| (6-4 , 267) | Temple
Notes: School legacy, following his father, former
running back Zachary Dixon (1977-78) to play for the Owls
… All-out hustler who plays until the whistle sounds … Started
33 of 37 games he played in at Temple … Finished with 160
tackles (87 solos), 11 sacks, 30 stops behind the line of
scrimmage and 35 quarterback pressures.
Positives: Lean, athletic pass rusher with a frame
that can add additional bulk without any dropoff in quickness
… Has an explosive initial burst, getting his hands up quickly
on his rise from his stance to get into the blocker's chest
… Plays with awareness and shows the instincts needed to diagnose
and read the plays … Combats double team blocking with true
aggression, playing with leverage vs. the run … Has a hard
charge chasing from the back-side, displaying proper body
lean off the corner … Displays good power upon contact to
wrap and take down when tackling … Has a very quick swim move
and excels at flushing the quarterback out of the pocket …
Knows how to use his hands to control and adjust off blocks
… His quickness and pass rushing skills could see him shift
to outside linebacker at the pro level.
Negatives: Marginal size hurts him at times trying
to defeat multiple blockers … Needs to develop more arm power
and use his hands with more force coming out of his stance.
