2021 NFL Draft: New mock draft with Justin Fields, Zach Wilson rising
11. Kwity Paye. EDGE. Michigan. player. 44. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
The Atlanta Falcons just waived 2017 first-round pick Takkarist McKinley and moved on from Vic Beasley in the 2020 offseason.
Two first-round picks off the edge have not worked out, but they can’t stop trying.
Kwity Paye is considered one of the biggest athletic ‘freaks’ in all of college football, and he has shown some great things in the early goings of Michigan’s 2020 season.
#Michigan EDGE Kwity Paye has 16 pressures (!!) and 8 QB hurries in only 2 games so far this year.

Paye is getting to the QB with a high degree of regularity and showing off his ability to convert speed to power and win with pure quickness off the snap.
The Falcons have so many former first-round picks on offense, they need to make sure the defensive side of the ball can keep up.
Paye is one of the biggest 2021 NFL Draft risers in all of college football right now.
