He's a hand-in-the-dirt 3-4 IDL for a team that wants to stop the run and hold their ground at the line of scrimmage, built to eat up blocks in the A-gaps.
Immediate starter as a run-stuffing 3-4 DE who can push the pocket, with the upside to be a long-term anchor in the middle of a defensive line.
Teams that prioritize quick-twitch, penetrating interior pass rushers over run defense.
Tomlinson offers significant value as a stout run defender with surprising strength, making him a cornerstone for a two-gapping defensive front.
Selected #55 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of Alabama.
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.
