PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Farmer is a powerful, versatile interior defensive lineman who wins with brute strength, quick hands, and lateral mobility. He fits best in a rotational role as a 3-tech or 4i-tech in an odd or even front, where his disruptive presence against the run and flashes as a pass rusher can be maximized. His inconsistent first-step quickness, pad level, and ability to handle double teams laterally will require refinement, but he has the raw power and play strength to develop into an NFL starter.
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.
