Devonte Wyatt: Defensive Tackle, Georgia

The Georgia front seven was the story of the college football season as they helped lead the Bulldogs to their first national championship in 40 years. And perhaps the most underappreciated player on that defensive line was Devonte Wyatt.

The athleticism jumps off the screen when you watch this guy play and if you want it summarized in one play, go watch him track down Alabama’s Bryce Young in the SEC Championship game.

Wyatt’s get-off is his best trait, and that allows him to win early and control offensive guards when he’s one on one in both the pass and run game. He has both linear speed and the ability to bend, which could make him an effective pass rusher early on.

The one-on-one drills should be an excellent opportunity for him to showcase his athleticism and really begin to stand out in a weaker defensive tackle class. Though he will need to develop more strength in the NFL because most analyst seems to agree his ability to hold up against double teams is poor.
