Scouting Report: Strengths
  • His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
  • Possesses the length and power to ward off offensive tackles.
  • Good strength and balance to sit down, lock-out and create a pile, leading to possibilities inside and out (in the 3-4).
  • Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
  • Deal has pure power, which is emphasized by a good pad level. Deal can stand up at the point of attack and handle double teams, and Deal also has the ability to drive blockers back into the pocket with a bull rush.
  • Quarterbacks and ballcarriers feel his strength when he plants them in the backfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Deal doesn’t have the skill set to bend around the edge; he’ll have to attack gaps as a pass rusher.
  • He isn’t a true edge burner and might be better off kicking inside on passing downs.
  • Deal doesn’t have a lot of suddenness to his game, and Deal won’t wreck plays on a regular basis.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
