Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 90.60 (All-Pro potential)
Pro Comparison: Kyle Van Noy
Summary

Jalon Walker is a versatile linebacker/EDGE hybrid with good closing speed and the ability to function as a quarterback spy. He’s effective at climbing and defeating blocks with authority and excels at attacking the edge, using a low center of gravity and surprising power to handle larger offensive tackles. Despite being undersized, he’s aggressive and fearless when taking on blocks, whether as an edge rusher or inside blitzer. His athleticism is solid but not elite, with average burst and change of direction limiting his range. Coverage experience is limited, and while his instincts and movement skills suggest he can handle zone assignments, his ball skills are untested and remain a question mark. Tackling is a strength, with few misses on tape. Walker’s energy can waver as an off-ball linebacker, occasionally reacting slowly to what he sees. While he lacks a standout elite trait, his combination of size, length, and hybrid role experience will appeal to teams seeking a versatile defender.

About
  • 2024: Butkus Award (nation's best LB); third Georgia player in past eight years to take home honor (Nakobe Dean in 2021 and Roquan Smith in 2017)
  • 2024: First-team All-SEC
Strengths
  • Serious versatility to play off-ball LB and EDGE
  • Defeats blocks well against the run
  • Has plenty of power, some pass-rush moves as outside rusher
Weaknesses
  • Reasonable athlete but doesn't fly to the football on outside runs
  • May be a tick too small to routinely win against large NFL OTs as rusher
  • Minimal ball skills + average in coverage
