Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Grimes can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Grimes also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
  • Has the long arms and hand strength to win at the point consistently; strong throughout the upper body and has good agility for his size.
  • He has an excellent motor and shows the stamina to last deep into the fourth quarter.
  • Quick off the snap in the pass rush, he has violent hands and a good feel for working inside counter moves.
  • He has the speed to be effective in pursuit, and he shows enough fluid athleticism that he might be able to transition to outside linebacker and hold up in coverage.
  • Grimes has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as an authoritative, wrap-up tackler.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Uncreative pass rusher who lacks counter moves. Raw technique. Streaky and slow to react.
  • Lacks overpowering strength and can stick to blocks. Lacks explosive speed to bend and flatten off the corner with stiff hips and ankles. Not flexible or fluid.
  • Plays tall and gets upright off the snap. Wins with upper-body strength and needs to focus on leverage.

*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.
