Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 65.40 (Role player)

Pro Comparison: Jeremy Cash

Summary:

SirVocea Dennis is a smaller, run stuffing, between-the-tackles LB. He has awesome block-shedding ability despite his limited size. Length is very good. He's not complacent taking on blocks whatsoever, and will even spin out of blockers' grasps. He's a very sure tackler. While he can lay the lumber and it surprises ball-carriers, he is fundamentally sound wrapping up. His ball skills are below average. He's not a coverage type because his overall speed and suddenness are also below average. He can hit the afterburners as a blitzer, and that's where he looks the most explosive. He's a limited second-level defender who'll be a coach favorite because of his tenacity and minimal missed tackles, but he cannot be relied upon to turn and run or make plays in zone coverage.

Strengths:

  • Fluidity is noticably good
  • Defeats blocks well for his size
  • High-energy defender
  • Reliable, fundamentally sound tackler

Weaknesses:

  • Not a coverage specialist
  • Doesn't have plus ball skills
  • Best close to the line, movements get awkward further away from the ball
