2025 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about ANTWAUN POWELL-RYLAND JR.:

Virginia Tech | Hometown: Portsmouth, VA | HT: 6025 | WT: 258 | 40 time: 4.69 | Hand: 0958 | Arm: 3112 | Wing: 7658

Three-year starter. Third-team All-America and first-team All-ACC in 2024, Second team All-ACC in 2023. Plays with his hand in the dirt in even fronts, but plays his best as a standup edge in odd fronts. Undersized edge rusher prospect with tiny arms. Lots of experience getting to the quarterback with 25.5 sacks over the past two seasons. Quick off the ball with explosive upfield burst and long strides right off the bat. Twitched up athlete with quick feet to squeeze space in a moment. Tightens down the edge with lateral agility and square hips. Can extend and shed with sufficient hand strength to defeat blocks. Shows a full arsenal of pass rush moves to win when engaged, including an impressive spin move. Crosses face with suddenness to show up on the interior gap. Flattens the corner with ease due to impressive contact balance and bend to take the best angle to the quarterback. Gets his hands up in front of the quarterback to bat down passes. Minimal knockback on contact and shows difficulty generating push into the backfield. When offensive tackles get their hands on him he can get stalemated quickly. Versus zone run schemes he gets washed down the line quickly. Inconsistency with pad level; sometimes plays high matched with his strength deficiencies can get him pushed around in the run game. Does not go into every play with a plan to win. Fringe closing speed to finish on the quarterback quickly.

2024 Stats: 43 T, 19 TFL, 16 sacks, 9 QBH, 3 FF, 1 BK. OSR:14/37. 10-1.56. Draft projection: 5th-6th round
