2021 NFL Draft: Round 1, Pick 32
Pittsburgh. 32. player. 124. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. IDL. Jaylen Twyman
Can the Kansas City Chiefs repeat as Super Bowl Champions? Well, at least in this make-believe scenario they do. Patrick Mahomes leads a well-oiled machine for the Chiefs on the offensive side of the ball and their defense has undoubtedly improved in a big way over the last year or so. This is an extremely talented team that is ready to make another run and simply sitting back and taking the best player available would make sense here.
Jaylen Twyman stands out as an exciting 2021 NFL Draft prospect in this range because of his ability to put pressure on the quarterback from the interior. Twyman is an explosive athlete who flies off of the ball with ease and consistently gets great upfield burst in the pass rush. He is strong, athletic and wins with a variety of pass-rush moves on the inside.
Twyman is a high motor athlete who will work hard on every play and he does a nice job of keeping his pad low and winning with leverage. His run defense needs some work, but Twyman is the kind of guy who you can stick in a three-technique and let him work as a one-gap penetrator immediately. Pairing him with Chris Jones would be incredibly dangerous for opposing offensive lines.
