Draft Rewind 2016: Keanu Neal, Atlanta Falcons

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about KEANU NEAL: Florida, 6004 211 4.63. Junior entry and two-year starter from Bushnell, FL. Passes the eye test. Smooth on his backpedal and read steps. Tracks well moving downhill making adjustments on the move. Long arms and big hands to ward off low cut blocks. Lines up at 10-yards depth but is quick and reactive enough to get into the run support alley. Takes good angles and is a big hitter when he gets to the contact point. He will and can be out of control as a tackler at times. He will lunge and drop his head and miss the splatter hit. Must breakdown and wrap more consistently. Takes good angles in deep coverage. Better as a zone player than man-to-man at this point in his development. Has good tools for the position, but must clean up his inconsistencies. Throws his body at the ball carrier. Has good playing and closing speed. Moves well laterally and plays the edge run well when in the box. Good functional strength for the position. 2015 stats: 96 T, 3.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 PBU, 1 QBH. BTR:left 4.81, right 4.83. OSR:10/17. Fifth/sixth round. (A-32 3/4, H-10 5/8, VJ-38, SS-4.38).
