Ourlads' Profile:

2023 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about JALEN REDMOND:

Oklahoma | H: 6023 W: 293 40: 4.81 A: 3258 H: 1018 W: 7814

Two-and-a-half year starter, Midwest City, OK. Projects best as a zero-tech in the NFL who can two-gap. Shows great physical toughness when he comes in contact with offensive linemen, violent punch and will create extension to leverage his run responsibility in two-gap schemes. Shows ability to shoot gaps and hold his ground in one-gap schemes. When he plays with low pad level, can hold his own versus base blocks and down blocks. Good functional strength to create push in the backfield while driving his feet. Considerable hand strength helps him disengage and shed blocks. Adds value in pass rush utilizing a variety of power rush moves, especially bull rush and violent hand swipes. Shows effort and desire in pursuit. Flashes explosiveness off the line-of-scrimmage when the ball is snapped, but is inconsistent with his burst. Too often stands straight up out of his stance and immediately gets out-leveraged. When he plays with high pad level, can get pushed around on the interior. Needs to improve his contact balance as he struggles to deal with chip blocks. Lacks overall athletic ability with slow feet and a stiff lower body. Shows tight hips when retracing downfield. Fringe closing speed when pursuing the ball carrier. A tweener who shows potential if he can play with consistency.

2022 Stats: 23 T, 10 TFL, 4 sacks, 4 PBU, 7 QBH. Edge speed:left 2.06, right 2.03. OSR:21/43. 6th/7th round.
