Nnadi is ideally suited for a run-stuffing role within a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, leveraging his power and low center of gravity to clog interior lanes.
Year 1: Rotational run-stopping tackle; Ceiling: Starting 1-technique.
Two-gap 3-4 defense where his lack of consistent pass-rush moves would limit his overall impact.
Nnadi projects as a strong interior run defender, whose main impact will be to eat up blocks and allow linebackers to flow freely.
Selected #75 overall in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Florida State.
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.
