PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
One of the most productive small-school defenders in recent memory, Walker combines high-level pass-rush instincts with natural leverage and hand usage. His compact build and violent play style allow him to win off the edge despite limited height and arm length. While he lacks the prototypical frame, he’s a true motor-based disruptor with scheme versatility. Best deployed as a rotational EDGE in a 3-4 or wide-9 front where he can play fast and attack in space. Senior Bowl and combine showings proved he belongs.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
