2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about KHALID KAREEM: Notre Dame, 6036 268 4.80. Two-year starter, Detroit, MI. A talented athlete who has been seeing time since his freshman year. A team captain who plays with a relentless effort to succeed in pressuring a quarterback or closing off the edge run. Flashes a sudden upfield burst to disrupt the backfield action. A full contact player with an NFL defensive end-build featuring long arms and big hands to ward off blocks. He has no problem stacking a blocker with leverage and driving him in the backfield. Regularly fights through double teams and chip blocks from the running back. An impact hitter who forces fumbles or stops a running back’s momentum. Football smart with a variety of moves to beat the blocker at the line of scrimmage. Plays with a good effort from snap to whistle. Works to finish the play. Can close down inside to penetrate as a five technique. Projects as a solid backup or stop gap starter. Good upside based on measurables. Will need pro scheme development. Could be a little more flexible to bend the corner. Lacks backside closing speed. 2019 stats: 46 T, 10 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 1 PBU, 11 QBH, 3 FF. Medical exclusion at Combine. Fourth/fifth round.
