PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Kneeland is known for his physicality in the pass rush, strong play against the run, and an impressive motor. His agility, while not elite, allows him to dodge blockers and pursue runners effectively. His strength and tactics make him a formidable run defender and a capable pass rusher, suggesting he'd fit well as a 5- or 6-technique defensive end in even fronts.
SCOUTING REPORT
Kneeland's ability to impact the game through his high motor, strong run defense, and effective pass rush make him an intriguing prospect. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in agility and handling direct runs, his strengths could see him making a solid contribution at the professional level. His performances have led to a projection as a Day 2 or early Day 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft?.
