Scouting Report: Strengths
- Flashes nimble feet to chase running backs and mobile quarterbacks to the sideline when lined up at end. Spins off blocks to get back into the play.
- Faulk has decent enough flexibility to bend the edge, and Faulk shows a good closing burst.
- While he has the flexibility to dip and bend under tackles, what makes him truly dangerous is his ability to counter.
- He can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, he also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- Faulk has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
- 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.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Faulk is so eager to get upfield that Faulk often abandons responsibilities against the run.
- Faulk also shows some stiffness when trying to bend the edge, often getting pushed past the pocket — he seems more comfortable countering back inside.
- He’s often slow to react and locate the ball against the run.
