Scouting Report: Strengths
- With rare size and excellent movement skills considering how massive Dankwah is, he has some appealing traits.
- Has the functional strength to hold up against the bull rush, and he shows exceptionally quick and precise hands.
- Consistently keeps his feet sliding while maintaining power when dealing with speed, often sending speed rushers flying past the pocket
- Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
- Tall with long arms, he has exceptional length and is a violent, aggressive, and precise puncher who can redirect pass rushers.
- Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
- Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line.
- As a run blocker, he’s quick off the line but often comes up too high; Dankwah struggles to generate movement at the point of attack.
