Scouting Report: Strengths
- Grimes can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Grimes also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- Has the long arms and hand strength to win at the point consistently; strong throughout the upper body and has good agility for his size.
- He has an excellent motor and shows the stamina to last deep into the fourth quarter.
- Quick off the snap in the pass rush, he has violent hands and a good feel for working inside counter moves.
- He has the speed to be effective in pursuit, and he shows enough fluid athleticism that he might be able to transition to outside linebacker and hold up in coverage.
- Grimes has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as an authoritative, wrap-up tackler.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Uncreative pass rusher who lacks counter moves. Raw technique. Streaky and slow to react.
- Lacks overpowering strength and can stick to blocks. Lacks explosive speed to bend and flatten off the corner with stiff hips and ankles. Not flexible or fluid.
- Plays tall and gets upright off the snap. Wins with upper-body strength and needs to focus on leverage.
