What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MARCEL DAREUS: Alabama, 6031 319 4.93. Junior
entry. Two-year starter. A versatile long armed power player who is strong in
the run game and disruptive as a pass rusher. Locks out and controls the pass
protector with his strong hands. Plays in a controlled contain rush scheme, but
is quick enough to release and bounce outside to make a play. Doesn’t stay
blocked. Plays square with his toes pointed to the goal line. Has strong power
base in the run game. Thick and explosive lower body. Quick arm over move when
turned loose to rush the passer. Sudden lateral quickness to close down the
inside running lanes. Athletic and quick on loop, angle, and slant stunts. Uses
offensive linemen like a “shiver board” skating down the line. Explosive punch
and uncoil power. Good instincts with quick reactions. Can feel pressure and
react on the move. A stout inline anchor versus the run. Plays with good
balance, hands, and technique. Takes good angles away from the ball and has run
down plays from behind. In a four-man front he may be the left end run stuffer.
As a 5-technique (shades outside shoulder of offensive tackle) he can stack
double teams and two gap, keeping blockers off linebackers. Missed first two
games with NCAA agent sanctions. 2010 stats: 33 tackles, 4 1/2 sacks. 11 TFL, 4
PBU. Edge speed:left 2.05, right 2.09. OSR:7/25. First round. (A-33 3/8, H-10
1/8, BP-24, 10-1.71).
