Scouting Report: Strengths
- 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.
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- Delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to make plays in the hole or outside the box. Uses lower-body strength to anchor inside.
- Graham has a wide base and a low center of gravity to hold his ground, as well as the upper-body strength to shed blockers.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- He’s a high-motor player, and Graham shows good enough hand use, as well as a tight spin move, to win as an edge rusher.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
- Graham is on the short side, and Graham too often relies on his ability to overpower blockers rather than developing a repertoire of pass-rush moves.
- Inconsistent in his ability to separate from blocks, however, making him more of a nuisance than a snap-to-snap terror.
