Temple· 6'1"· 233 lb· 4.62s 40
A versatile, athletic defender best suited for a modern attacking 4-3 defense that values speed and sideline-to-sideline range at the linebacker position.
Year 1 impact player as a weakside linebacker, with the ceiling to be a multi-season starter and defensive leader.
Two-gap 3-4 defense that asks linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks at the point of attack.
Whitehead's athleticism and playmaking ability are maximized in a scheme allowing him to freely flow to the ball and make plays. He will struggle getting off blocks consistently due to his size.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
