Recent Nader Abdallah Notes
Nader Abdallah
positives
Tall and strong on the nose, able to hold his ground against double teams. ... Fair initial quickness off the snap. ... Stands up his man and keeps his eyes in the backfield to find the ball. ... Uses his hands well when one-on-one, keeping them active to prevent getting stuck. ... Rips off his man laterally to pressure the quarterback or negate the cutback lane. ... Improving hustle and chase during his senior year. ... Has matured significantly on the field and as a leader.
negatives
Not great in any one area, as he does not have great bulk, straight-line speed or strength. ... Loses his balance when trying to change direction quickly. ... Only occasionally gets to the quarterback, typically in "coverage sack" situations. ... Plays with a high pad level at times and will get walked off the line. ... Rarely bull rushes his man into the pocket. ... Just over one year as a productive college player.
