3. Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia

Through the first half-dozen games of SEC play so far in 2020, perhaps no player defensively has done more to improve their 2021 NFL Draft stock than EDGE Azeez Ojulari.

Ojulari is a redshirt sophomore but in many respects is playing like a seasoned veteran, showing an ability to set the edge in the running game and rush the passer with a combination of skills and moves.

Ojulari has a very strong upper body and uses his power to set up his speed moves as the game progresses.

Ojulari can throw the offensive tackle’s hands off of him with ease when he’s in one-on-one matchups, but he also plays within the Georgia defense very well.

In addition to his pass rush skills and run defending skills, Ojulari has shown he is capable in coverage, versatility that will be absolutely huge as he transitions to the next level.

Although Ojulari does not bend around the edge like Myles Garrett or Von Miller, he has an excellent combination of speed and power moves along with great hands that could push him to the top EDGE spot in a class which has a number of breakout players.
