In a rich and diverse class as Rusher Pass, Jack Sawyer is struggling to find a place. However, it has undeniable assets which can make it apply in the first round.
Jack Sawyer's strengths
- Defense of racing
- Power / Athletics
- Balance
Being a rusher pass is not just to succeed in sacks. It is also a question of being the first bulwark in the defense against the race. In this area, Sawyer is excellent. Powerful enough to hold its space, it has the necessary strength to fill the gap.
Because if it is not the fastest, it is definitely powerful and athletic. Also impacting in the fourth quarter as much as at first, he is an excellent contributor in all game sectors. He has very good control of his body, which allows him to almost never be out of position. You have to keep in mind that a first -round player is not necessarily a star, but the goal is to find a long -term holder.
This is what Jack Sawyer offers.
Jack Sawyer's weaknesses
- Diversity of movements
- Explosiveness
If Jack Sawyer is powerful and capable of doing Bull Rush, he is not a great technician. It does not have a varied palette of movement. He has clearly worked on this this season, but it remains insufficient at the NFL level. He can become a Sacks hunter, but he will take at least 2 years of work.
Jack Sawyer is neither lively nor explosive, it is not necessarily unacceptable for a “setter” but that is what prevents him from being a full player. Not all players have to be diamonds, but having a profile complementarity is essential. Sawyer is therefore rather a number 2 of nature, but a very reliable number 2.
Possible destinations
Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks
The dream destination for Sawyer would be a team that already has a number 1 rusher pass but is looking to be better against the race, and more constant in performance. The Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles for example make sense in this logic.
It is the room that allows you to finish the construction of a line, not necessarily the player who will serve as a first stone. But having him in a team that will give him time to build himself is also interesting.
