JAMES MALONE

Position: DT Class: Sr School: UAB Conference: C-USA Ht., Wt.: 6'1½, 285 40 Time: 5.01 Grade: 3.16

BIO: Used at both defensive tackle and rush end in college. Finished with 67 tackles, three tackles for loss and three sacks as a senior after 26-12-1 the prior year. POSITIVES: Relentless defender who gives top effort for six ty minutes. Plays with good lean, displays a solid change of direction and rarely off his feet. Plugs the middle getting push up the field and quick to read or recognize the action. NEGATIVES: Not quick off the snap, plays a bit tall and handled by a single blocker. ANALYSIS: Best on the inside in a three technique, though he must improve his ability to keep his pads low and play with leverage. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
