Draft Rewind 2014: Dominique Easley, New England Patriots

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about DOMINIQUE EASLEY: Florida, 6016 288 4.89. Three-year starter with experience at defensive tackle and end. Sudden and explosive to get penetration or gain an advantage upfield. Unlocks his hips with force. Plays with a good power base and lower body strength with knee bend to stack the point of attack. A one-gap player who is highly motivated to use his hands to control the blocker, close down inside with authority, and disrupt an offensive blocking scheme. Easley doesn’t have the gaudy stats of some players because he is part of a six-man rotation. A quick twitch athlete who is flexible and always around the ball. A scheme specific defender. Injury history which includes a torn ACL in 2013 and one in 2011. Undersized for an NFL tackle. 2013 stats: 5 T, 2 TFL. Medical exclusion at Combine, right knee ACL. Third/fourth round. (A-32 7/8, H-9 3/4, BP-26, 10-DNP).
