Adetomiwa Adebawore – Defensive Tackle, Northwestern

The Raiders will need to make real upgrades on the interior of their defensive line, and a guy like Notherwestern’s Adetomiwa Adebawore flashed a ton in Mobile. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham got a front-row seat to watch Adebawore put on a show in the pass-blocking sessions as he showed strong hands and an impressive bull rush.

What is so unique about Adebawore is that despite being undersized for an interior player (6’1, 284lbs), he has very long arms and big hands. That natural leverage and ability to keep guards away from his chest should help him at the next level.

His stock will only rise if he continues on this trajectory, but with Graham getting to coach him all week, I’m sure he will put in an excellent word to Dave Zeigler and the front office.
