Kenneth Grant's Player Profile

John Kosko - PFF - March 17th: "Grant is a big, explosive nose tackle. He has the power to dominate at the line of scrimmage, eating double-team blocks while having the quickness to shoot gaps and disrupt in the backfield."

Dante Lee - The Ringers - March 16th.: "At 331 pounds, he’s a load to move in the run game even when he’s double-teamed, and he’s agile enough to stay in pursuit of plays that are flowing away from him. Taking a DT who doesn’t have real pass-rushing juice can be a tricky proposition in the first round, so he’ll need to show a certain level of polish in tacking on blocks, pushing the pocket, and affecting throwing windows for the quarterback."

Jordan Reid - ESPN - Mar. 16th: "His size allows him to clog inside gaps, and Grant can push the pocket and condense the throwing area .. He needs to be more consistent as an early-down run defender and must improve his pad level, but Grant has the effort and motor that NFL teams desire."

Ryan Fowler - The Draft Network - March 16th: "There’s still some fine-tuning needed in Kenneth Grant's game (tightness in lower half, first-step quickness), but the Michigan product is a disruptive and uber-athletic player who remains among the top interior ballplayers in the class."

Danny Kelly - The Ringer - March 5th: "He shocks opponents with his punch, immediately putting them on the defensive. He keeps his feet moving to bull-rush blockers into the quarterback. He’s a heady player who does a good job of getting his hands up into passing lanes to knock throws down."
