PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Jalon Walker is a highly versatile and explosive linebacker with natural pass-rush instincts and an ideal athletic profile for hybrid roles. He projects as a disruptive weapon on early downs as a run defender and as an edge rusher on passing downs. His ideal fit is in a system that maximizes linebacker versatility, with the flexibility to use him both in pass rush and coverage assignments. Although he lacks extensive off-ball linebacker experience, his range, burst, and strength make him an immediate contributor with Pro Bowl potential in the right scheme.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Near Elite (70-74)
A high-caliber prospect who is expected to become a significant contributor by Year 2. These players have outstanding physical tools and strong football IQ, with only minor flaws in their game. They demonstrate consistency at a high level and project as future Pro Bowl-caliber players if properly developed.
