Short Summary
BJ Ojulari showed everything on tape. He checks every box while showing elite traits in many areas. He is a high-effort player, and a leader, with elite agility and great play skills. Despite his low Combine measurements, he looks much bigger on tape than he measured in.
Additionally, and best of all, he shows great polish for his young age. He also has a ton of experience at age 21. Sure, the measurements are concerning, but given the fact that it didn’t show on tape, I see no reason BJ Ojulari can’t be a great NFL player.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- GP – Games Played
- TFLs – Tackles for Loss
- FF – Forced Fumbles
- PR Grade – Pass Rush Grade.
- PRS – Pressures.
- Missed Tackles – Missed tackle rate. Percentiles of these stats are inverse; the higher the number, the lower the percentile. Naturally, players with more playing time will rack up higher numbers, even in the rate category.
- IDL Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive interior (between the tackles).
- EDGE Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive edge (over or outside the tackle).
- Reaction – Reactionary speed.
