Scouting Report: Strengths
- Tougher between the tackles than many expect. Fluid and quick drop into zone, covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 "MIKE" and knows where the markers are.
- Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- Pool can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- Pool shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
- A chase-and-tackle Will prospect, Pool is instinctive, reading and reacting quickly and showing the ability to absolutely fly around the field.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks functional strength in the pass rush, struggling to disengage and too easily pushed past the pocket.
- Pool is on the small side, and his frame is pretty much maxed out. Despite his effort and intensity, he’ll simply get swallowed up at times.
- He’ll get pushed around at the point of attack.
