Scouting
Report:
The
Good: Quick, explosive lineman that stuffs the run or
rushes the passer. Fires off the
snap with a tremendous first
step, plays low with leverage and displays great leg drive which he uses to bull rush opponents off the line of scrimmage.
Constantly focused on or doubled by opponents yet still gets a lot of upfield momentum going.
Agile, can twist or stunt and fluid changing direction, displaying the abilities to alter his
angle of attack and make plays out to the
flanks. Holds his ground against
blocks or slides off them altogether and rarely off his feet. Keeps
driving forwards and works to make something positive happen. Plays while
injured and suffered through the 2001 campaign with a bad knee injury, yet rarely missed time.
The
Bad: Must do a better job protecting himself and using his hands to keep opponents off him.
Lacks the great height and size potential, which may turn teams off.
The
Skinny: A
player we've liked for a while and would liken to former LSU Tiger Anthony McFarland, though we feel McNeil will be much more
productive earlier in his NFL career.
