| A physically gifted prospect with the ability to be used as a two-gap lineman, Atkins comes off a disappointing senior campaign. Never met the expectations scouts had of him, and is close to being labeled as an under-achiever. Offers starting potential at the next level, but has yet to show the fire or motivation. |
| Biography: |
Four-year starter whose senior totals included 43/12/5 after
40/5/1.5 as a junior.
Pos:
Nice-sized, athletic defender who has yet to take his game to
another level.
Plays with good pad level, displays speed in every direction and
penetrates up the field, creating havoc. Fluid changing direction,
makes plays down the line and redirects to the action. Agile, splits
blocks and rarely is off his feet. Plays with terrific balance and
body control.
Neg:
Does not chase hard to get involved in the action, nor is he a
physical defender. Has a lot of tackles broken. Controlled at the
point by tight ends. |
