Scouting Report: Strengths
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
- Despite a bowling-ball build, Grant has good feet and agility, capable of working laterally down the line of scrimmage in pursuit.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks the ability to be a true edge burner. While Grant was able to physically overpower opponents at the college, he will have to develop a wider repertoire of moves in the pros.
- Grant doesn’t move well laterally and doesn’t have a lot of range when it comes to pursuing on the backside.
- Good strength, though his marginal arm length limits his ability to grab hold of ballcarriers as they run by.
