Shazier is explosive and quick as an edge rusher however although his height is what we like to see for the defensive end position his weight is lacking at the present time. Therefore a move to the OLB position is a possibility. This is a very flexible and athletic player; is extremely quick across the line of scrimmage showing good instincts with the ability to change direction vs. inside and outside run plays. His quick hands allow him to play of blockers while working through traffic. Does a nice job applying up field pressure with the great quickness and balance necessary to work back inside and flatten down the line on plays away. His backside pursuit is relentless. Has a very quick inside gap move which is very difficult to block; this creates havoc in the backfield with many TFL'S. His real strength is as an outside pass rusher; displays the quickness to beat tackles off the edge; can squeeze the pocket with excellent balance forcing the QB out of the pocket. Is able to put immediate pressure on the QB with his excellent edge speed and closing burst. Flashes power rush potential however his lack of bulk limits him somewhat. However his alternate move to the inside is a very good change of pace. This guy is exciting to watch as his tackling ability is both disruptive and punishing while his excellent pursuit habits allow him to make plays all over the field. If a move to OLB occurs Shazier will need some time to adjust. However his athleticism and explosiveness will allow for game plan flexibility as his career progresses.
