He projects best in a 4-3 multiple front where his athleticism and pass rushing prowess can be maximized.
Immediate special teams contributor with the ability to develop into a rotational pass rusher and eventual starting weakside linebacker.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap defense would neutralize his primary strength as an attacking edge player.
Banogu's athletic upside and pass-rushing instincts make him a versatile piece for a modern defensive scheme looking for speed on the edge.
Selected #49 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of TCU.
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.
