Scouting Report: Strengths
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- Possesses the length and power to ward off offensive tackles.
- Good strength and balance to sit down, lock-out and create a pile, leading to possibilities inside and out (in the 3-4).
- 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.
- Deal has pure power, which is emphasized by a good pad level. Deal can stand up at the point of attack and handle double teams, and Deal also has the ability to drive blockers back into the pocket with a bull rush.
- Quarterbacks and ballcarriers feel his strength when he plants them in the backfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Deal doesn’t have the skill set to bend around the edge; he’ll have to attack gaps as a pass rusher.
- He isn’t a true edge burner and might be better off kicking inside on passing downs.
- Deal doesn’t have a lot of suddenness to his game, and Deal won’t wreck plays on a regular basis.
