FINAL REPORT
Lukas Van Ness possesses good size and strength, standing at 6-4 and weighing around 275 pounds. Van Ness is a disruptive force on the defensive line and has shown the ability to get into the backfield and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. He has good quickness off the snap and solid technique, allowing him to shed blocks and make tackles. While he may need to continue to refine his skills and develop more pass-rush moves, Van Ness has the potential to be a solid NFL player.
