Veikune OLB Hawaii #94 |
| Ht:
6'2
Wt: 255
| |
| Strengths: |
| Elite strength. Reliable tackler
and a hard hitter. Has experience lining up all over the field - defensive end,
tackle, linebacker. Has a nice compact build that allows him to get good leverage
when engaged with an offensive lineman. Above average ability as a pass rusher. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Limited experience
at linebacker; primarily played defensive end at Hawaii. Below average speed.
Athleticism is marginal; will struggle in coverage in the pros. |
| Comments:
|
| Veikune's value will
vary drastically from team to team. Teams running a 4-3 defense have very little
use for him because he is too small to play defensive end, but too slow to play
linebacker. His best fit is at outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense where he can
be used primarily as a pass rusher, and can be moved around to find the matchup
that best suits his skill set. |
