Scouting Report: Strengths
- Koht can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Koht also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- He has enough speed to chase and run in pursuit. He has the overall athleticism to hold up in space when dropping into coverage.
- He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
- He has value as an inside blitzer as well, showing the initial burst to shoot through gaps and disrupt the backfield.
- Koht has good quickness and an excellent understanding of angles, often beating blockers to the spot.
- Quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. Experienced in coverage and gets a strong jam on outside receivers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His lateral agility and burst often put him in position to make big plays, but Koht takes questionable routes to the ball and struggles to avoid blockers when in pursuit.
- Lacks elite quickness and change-of-direction ability to handle NFL slot receivers after initial contact.
- Koht 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.
