Scouting Report: Strengths
- Maxwell is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and Maxwell displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
- Delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to make plays in the hole or outside the box. Uses lower-body strength to anchor inside.
- He’s a high-motor player, and he shows good enough hand use, as well as a tight spin move, to win as an edge rusher.
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and he displays a very good motor.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Maxwell also shows some stiffness when trying to bend the edge, often getting pushed past the pocket — Maxwell seems more comfortable countering back inside.
- His pass rush moves need refinement, and he doesn’t have a lot of range in coverage.
- While he moves well laterally, he doesn’t always get there in pursuit.
