Scouting Report: Strengths
- Jeffcoat explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.
- Faces double-team and holds the line. Stays alive against the run and mobile quarterbacks, shedding to either side to chase.
- Quick off the snap in the pass rush, Jeffcoat has violent hands and a good feel for working inside counter moves.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision.
- He has violent hands and the long arms to ward off blockers. Jeffcoat plays with a good pad level and can win with power as a bull rusher.
- While he has the flexibility to dip and bend under tackles, what makes him truly dangerous is his ability to counter.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Jeffcoat lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
- Jeffcoat lacks ideal length for an edge rusher, and he’d be on the small side for the interior with a little more room on his frame to add weight
