Justin Trattou of Florida ~ 6.3/255
"Bio: Full-time starter as a senior finishing the year with 57/12/2, one interception and breaking up a single pass. Primarily a reserve during his junior campaign and finished the year with 17/4.5/2. Initially moved in the starting lineup as a sophomore and totaled 27/4/1.
Positive: Hardworking, undersized college defensive end who flashes skill as a pass rusher. Effectively uses his hands and can bend off the edge or make plays laterally. Changes directions well, plays with good quickness, and stays with the action.
Negative: Easily controlled by a single blocker. Does not consistently play with good pad level. Possesses just averaging closing speed and lacks pursuit speed.
Analysis: Trattou plays with a high motor but lacks the pure physical skills to be anything other than a backup on the NFL level. He could fit in as a 3-4 outside linebacker brought onto the field as a pass rusher."

Negatives: Not real quick... Does not possess explosive burst off the ball... Limited arsenal of moves... Inconsistent... Only flashes his ability to make an impact... Began his collegiate career as a defensive tackle... Is limited in terms of potential... Would be best fit as a 3-4 defensive end."
