Scouting Report: Strengths
- Dillworth has the classic frame and long arms with some explosion, power and ability to close.
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and Dillworth shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. He plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
- Has a quick burst off the line and times the snap well. Good upper-body strength and length to lock-out his opponent and at least moderate lateral agility to slide inside or spill out to contain.
- He shows impressive speed and overall athleticism when moving laterally in pursuit as a run defender.
- 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.
- Dillworth shows good speed and closing burst when blitzing.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s more of a grab-and-drag tackler who could stand to be more violent as a hitter.
- Dillworth lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.
- He’ll also need to be covered in the run game, more of a Will than a Mike in a 4-3 alignment.
