POSITIVES

— Quick to get his hands up and take on blocks against the run.

— Has solid physicality and strength at the point of attack to help set the edge against weaker tackles or beat tight ends across their face.

— Decent rip move to defeat blocks as a run defender or win around the edge as a pass-rusher.

— Good agility/lateral movement skills to be effective when slanting or on line games.

— When unblocked against the run, stays close to the heel line and has enough speed to make tackles near the line of scrimmage from the backside.

NEGATIVES

— Lacks twitch and suddenness as a pass-rusher.

— Poor use of hands when rushing the passer. Accuracy with his hands is off, as he'll often miss with his initial chops and struggles to work the hands after contact.

— Has subpar bend, ankles and hips are a little stiff to turn a tight corner.

— Often late off the ball on run downs, leading to him getting reached or cut off.

— Likes to leave his gap and work around blocks, often leaving his assignment open if he can't close the gap with the man.

OVERALL

Adisa Isaac is a solid player right now, and he has the potential to grow in the NFL with his combination of size, strength and athleticism. It wouldn't be surprising if his stock rises after the scouting combine, as he appears to have long arms and good movement skills that teams will want to work with.

Currently, Isaac stands out the most against the run. He has surprising strength for his build to be solid at setting the edge. He also racked up a bunch of tackles for loss or near the line of scrimmage by staying disciplined and using his speed when unblocked on the back side of runs.

As a pass-rusher, the former Nittany Lion has a decent rip move and can use his agility to be an effective looper on line games. He's also shown flashes of winning with power by using a long arm, but his hand placement is off to win consistently. Generally speaking, his use of hands when rushing needs a lot of work.

Overall, Isaac is a project who can be developed into a solid starter as a standup outside linebacker on a team that uses a lot of odd fronts.
