Georgia· 6'5"· 272 lb· 4.51s 40
One-gap 4-3 penetrating front, emphasizing disruption and athleticism from its defensive ends rather than pure run-stuffing.
Immediate situational pass rusher with the upside to develop into an elite three-down defensive end.
Two-gap 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be holding the point of attack against double teams, diminishing his athletic advantage.
Walker projects best in a scheme that allows him to primarily attack upfield, leveraging his explosive burst and length.
Selected #1 overall in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Jacksonville Jaguars out of Georgia.
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.
