Brodrick Bunkley

From Chris Sproule, for About.com

Position: Defensive Tackle

School: Florida State

Status: Senior

Height: 6-3

Weight: 285

40-Yard Dash: 5.05 (EST)

Positives:


Has the size you look for in a defensive tackle. He is very explosive off the ball, causing havoc in the backfield. The athleticism that he shows is very impressive especially at his size. Should provide a good pass rush for any team.

Negatives:


If you run the ball straight at him he is very ineffective. He tends to have trouble with bigger offensive lineman and is pushed backwards very easily. In the NFL he will be strictly a third-down pass rusher. A very soft defender that plays patty cake with offensive lineman.

Overview:


Brodrick Bunkley has the great size you look for, but he seems very soft. He has a chance to be productive but I just can't see him translating well into the NFL. Teams will give him a shot but I believe they will be very disappointed.
