RaidersAreOne Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Overview Nose tackle prospect with a well-earned reputation for making it hard on blockers to do their job in the run game. Farrell has seen personal maturity and development in his play that allowed him to consistently bully opponents as a physical force in the middle in 2021, but he tested poorly at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. He will be somewhat tethered to home base but could help in upgrading a leaky run defense. Farrell is a two-gapping nose with Day 3 value. Strengths Very rugged football player in the trenches. Combines strength with skill to defeat the block. Surprising snap quickness for his size. Comes off the ball with low pads and excellent leverage. Pure power to lift, displace and toss interior blockers. Plants roots and fights off down blocks and double teams. Able to peekaboo for running back as two-gapper. Strong hands and twitchy upper body to shed. Clears interior rush edge with extremely heavy slap. Weaknesses Only a running-down player at the next level. Needs to convert bad weight to better weight. Tardy lateral movement gets him reached/sealed versus zone. Pads get too tall on the move. Limited range and tackle radius. Tightness causes missed tackles in tight quarters. Bull-rush is a little too gradual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Like the pick and 3rd/4th is where two down NT's should go so good addition for depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Quote STRENGTHS: Outstanding size and comfortably carries 340 pounds ... strong hands to ******, dispose and find the football in the run game ... able to press blockers off him and disengage without overthinking ... has the first step quickness to penetrate gaps and play on the other side of the line of scrimmage ... physical upper body to rip and soften the shoulder of blockers ... able to push the pocket with his drive power from his hips and lower body ... tracks the football laterally with his backfield vision ... took on a leadership role as a senior and owns a “magnetic personality,” according to the LSU coaches ... saw his snaps increase as a senior (averaged 37.2 defensive snaps per game in 2021) and played his best football. WEAKNESSES: Stiff ankles and labors with quick direction change ... has some bad weight that he could stand to lose with better conditioning ... his aggressive play style leaves him out of control ... struggles to break down and finish in short areas, like the pocket ... inconsistent gap discipline and plays with tall pads ... doesn’t have great length and his rush quickly loses momentum when long-armed blockers reach his chest ... not a rangy player who will consistently chase down the ball carrier on the outside ... has a history of lower body injuries, including a right foot injury that required surgery (January 2019) and an ankle issue that required surgery (March 2020). SUMMARY: A three-year starter at LSU, Farrell was the nose tackle in former defensive coordinator Daronte Jones’ four-man front, splitting his time over both the A gap and B gap. After a nondescript first four years in the program, he appeared more motivated as a senior and his production (on the field and in the stat sheet) took a jump, finishing third on the team with 9.5 tackles for loss. Farrell has dominant flashes when his battery is charged, displaying hand techniques, backfield vision and force at the point of attack to defeat single blockers. He has penetration skills, but struggles to quickly redirect or break down in short spaces, which might be helped by weight loss. Overall, Farrell doesn’t always play with balance or control, but he has surprising snap quickness along with his functional play strength that give blockers trouble. At worst, he should be a rotational nose tackle in the NFL with potential to be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
