Draft Profile: Bio
The journey from local legend to NFL prospect has been a steady climb for Zeek Biggers, a mountain of a man who first turned heads as a multi-sport athlete at West Rowan High School in North Carolina. At just 14, locals in the Dominican Republic mistook him for an NFL player during a class trip - a prescient moment for the future Yellow Jacket. Despite modest recruiting rankings as a three-star prospect, Biggers brought an intriguing blend of size and coordination to Atlanta, having lettered in football, basketball, and track.After seeing action in nine games as a true freshman, Biggers developed into a defensive cornerstone for Georgia Tech, culminating in an honorable mention All-ACC selection as a junior in 2023. His transformation has been remarkable - dropping 50 pounds since arriving on campus while maintaining his imposing 6'6" frame. The trimmed-down 322-pound defender showed improved mobility in 2024, racking up 23 tackles and collecting a sack in his final campaign.
His senior season peaked early with a statement performance against Miami, but Biggers remained a consistent force in the trenches throughout the year. Despite some frustration with officiating in his final collegiate game at the Birmingham Bowl, his career numbers tell the story of a steady performer: 100 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, and seven pass breakups across four seasons in the ACC.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional length at 6'6" with 35-inch arms creates natural leverage advantages and allows him to lock out offensive linemen effectively when playing two-gap assignments
- Shows impressive lateral agility for his size, particularly after his weight cut - can work down the line of scrimmage while maintaining gap control
- Natural anchor against double teams - repeatedly demonstrates the ability to hold his ground and maintain gap integrity even when facing multiple blockers
- Disciplined gap defender who understands his role in the defensive front - rarely gets washed out of his assigned gap even against power running schemes
- Strong hands and good extension allow him to stack and shed effectively - consistently keeps himself clean to make plays in his gap
- Demonstrates good motor and pursuit effort - will chase plays to the sideline and shows endurance to maintain effectiveness deep into games
- Versatile alignment experience - has played everywhere from 0-tech nose to 3-tech, showing capability to adapt to different techniques
- Successfully transformed his body in college, showing dedication to conditioning and self-improvement that will translate well to the next level
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Limited explosiveness off the snap restricts his ability to penetrate and disrupt plays in the backfield consistently
- Pass rush repertoire needs significant development - relies too heavily on bull rush and basic hand swipes without counter moves
- Can play too high at times, particularly when fatigued, allowing offensive linemen to get under his pads despite his natural length advantage
- Lacks elite change of direction ability which can leave him susceptible to misdirection plays and trap blocks
- Production doesn't match physical tools - managed just one sack in his senior season despite playing in a major conference
Scouting Report: Summary
Put on the Miami tape and you'll see exactly what Biggers brings to an NFL defensive line - a massive frame that absolutely refuses to give ground against double teams. The way he reshaped his body tells me he's got the drive to maximize his tools, and those 35-inch arms are going to give NFL guards fits when he learns to use them properly. The lateral quickness he showed at the Shrine Bowl wasn't a fluke - this is a different player than the one I saw on 2023 film.The Ravens would be a perfect landing spot for him. Their multiple front defense and emphasis on playing stout against the run fits his skill set like a glove. Baltimore's proven track record developing raw defensive linemen could unlock the pass rush potential that occasionally flashes when he gets his pad level right. The NFL is still a big boy league on early downs, and Biggers has the anchor to contribute right away in those situations.
I've got a late sixth-round grade on him, though I wouldn't be shocked if a team fell in love with his frame and snatched him up earlier. The limited pass rush production is going to scare some teams off, but you can't teach his combination of size and movement skills. This isn't just another big body - there's legitimate NFL talent here waiting to be molded.
