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.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A mid-level starter potential prospect is a player who is likely to be a mid-level starter on their team, but with the potential to exceed expectations within 2-3 years. They have good physical tools and athleticism and can perform at a high level. They have some weaknesses, but they are minor. These players are typically fourth- or fifth-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
