Jonathan Massaquoi, DE / OLB, Troy

[jsa230]

Caught a couple Troy games and Massaquoi was the only pro prospect on the field. He looked pretty friggin good
Listed at 6'2 250, looks a little smaller to me.

+All kinds of pass rush moves, keeps his pads low and has a capable bullrush.
+Saw him drop into coverage, looks very capable.
+quick first step, probably his best quality.
+dude is eXplosive

-saw him take a couple plays off . . runs going to the opposite side of the field just kind of let himself get blocked instead of giving backside pursuit.
-doesn't seem to read and rec. very fast.
-struggling disengaging from blocks
I have as a mid-low 2nd rounder right now.

Discuss.

He's listed at 6'2" 270 for what its worth. But just from looking at him, he looks like he has FREAKISHLY long arms, because he looks alot lankier than most at 6'2".

But he seems to lack all and any instincts whatsoever. He's consistently getting lost in blocking schemes and is doing exactly what players want from them. He has HUGE potential, but right now he's VERY raw, but i want to see combine numbers and performance to see if he's ready to be a LB or not. He's got great closing speed to the QB and at least has very active hands, even though he does not have all that many moves. I'll post JMPasq's video of him Vs. Louisiana Lafayette. All credit to him

I am a big fan.

In fact, he's been in the first round of my mock for weeks.

Not quite DeMarcus Ware, but a potential first rounder in 2012 or 2013.
