Ahmad Moten Sr. DL Miami |
NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• An unreliable tackler, dragged down by six misses on the year
• Range thins quickly once plays get outside his frame
• Impact against the run lags the pass rush despite the size
• Pad level climbs late, letting blockers steer him from his gap

Scouting Report: Summary

Moten brings 325 pounds and an interior pass rush that does not usually come in that package, leading his own profile with a pass rush built on quickness off the ball rather than pure mass. He produced four sacks and twenty-seven pressures from inside, including a two-sack, four-stop game against Virginia Tech and another two-sack afternoon at Pittsburgh the next week. For a man his size, the get-off and the hand quickness are the traits that make him more than a space-eater.

The finish and the run-game impact are the holdups. His unreliable, lunging tackler, six misses on the year is a real number, and the run defense lags the pass rush despite the bulk, which is unusual and points to pad level that climbs late in drives. His range thins once ball carriers get outside his frame. He is a pass-rush-first interior player whose run-down value has not caught up to his size.

He profiles as a rotational interior rusher who gives a defense push on passing downs and the bulk to handle some early-down snaps. He has to clean up the tackling and play with better leverage to hold a three-down role, but the interior pressure at this weight is a real, bankable trait. That blend lands a Day 2 grade with rotation-plus floor.
