Pros

  • Phenomenal athletic ability on tape.

  • Extremely explosive first step off the line often beats offensive tackles out of the gate.
 
  • Powerful punch can blast offensive lineman back into the pocket at first contact. 
.
  • Best speed to power conversion in the draft in my opinion. 
 
  • Excellent hand technique at engagement to ward off offensive lineman from getting into his chest.
 
  • Violent hand fighter that makes lineman pay dearly at contact.
 
  • Phenomenal footwork and agility for his size that allows him keep lineman guessing about which gap he's attacking.
 
  • Great punch-pull move out of the gate that has won him a lot of battles on the edge. 
 
  • Very flexible frame that allows him to bend the edge.
 
  • Possesses a dip and rip move that can beat offensive tackles at will if they can't keep up.  
 
  • Excellent counter spin move that allows him to attack a tackles inside gap.
 
  • A beast of a run defender on the edge when digs his heels in and roots himself down.
 
  • Takes exceptional angles when pursing ball carriers and can run them down with relative ease.
 
  • Can make open field tackles on the edge against shifty ball carriers.
​
  • Highly versatile defensive lineman with ample snaps all over the front seven.
 
  • The most violent and nasty edge rusher in the draft that is very willing to blast ball carriers as well as grab and slam quarterbacks.
 
  • One of the toughest defenders in the draft based on his play and willingness to play through injury.
​
  • High motor player with no quit in him.

Cons

  • Arm length is relatively average for the position.

  • Current size doesn't allow him to play many snaps in the interior of the trenches.

  • Can get cute with his finesse moves at times rather than using his power to make plays when those fail.
​
  • Can stay with his bull rush too long at times and fail shed his block and pursue.
​
  • Loses sight of the ball carrier on occasion when fighting fighting through the trenches.

  • Pad level can rise as his rush continues, losing leverage throughout the play.

Overview

Tuli Tulipulotu is the football equivalent of the Tazmanian Devil from Looney Tunes as he seems to rampage through offensive lines on his way to the quarterback. His explosiveness on the field combined with his technical prowess as a defensive lineman in my opinion makes him one of the most dangerous defenders in the draft and teams throughout the process have been sleeping on him for some time. He plays tough and nasty football in the trenches or otherwise known as "NFL" football and any team that drafts him in my opinion is getting a three down menace in the trenches that can be a potential game wrecker.
