PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Jalon Walker is a highly versatile and explosive linebacker with natural pass-rush instincts and an ideal athletic profile for hybrid roles. He projects as a disruptive weapon on early downs as a run defender and as an edge rusher on passing downs. His ideal fit is in a system that maximizes linebacker versatility, with the flexibility to use him both in pass rush and coverage assignments. Although he lacks extensive off-ball linebacker experience, his range, burst, and strength make him an immediate contributor with Pro Bowl potential in the right scheme.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Near Elite (70-74)

They possess high-level physical tools and athleticism, performing consistently and effectively. While they may have some minor weaknesses, these do not detract significantly from their overall game. These players are often selected in the middle of the first round and have the potential to develop into impactful players and future stars in the league.
