Grading System

PATRICK KABONGO

Position: DT Class: Sr School: Nebraska Conference: Big 12 Ht., Wt.: 6'5½, 320 40 Time: 5.41 Grade: 3.14

BIO: Top reserve rotated in and out of the lineup the past two seasons. Totaled 35 tackles as a senior after registering 62/9/2 as a junior. POSITIVES: Big, imposing athlete who stands out on the line of scrimmage. Quickly gets off the snap and displays explosion. A load in the middle and tough to move off the point. Gets push up the field yet a decent athlete who moves well laterally pursuing the action. NEGATIVES: Lacks balance, gets tall and negates his lower body strength. Must improve his hand technique and develop more moves. Slow to locate the action or find the ball. ANALYSIS: Still rough around the edges, Kabongo's game seemingly leveled off in 2003. Offers size and athleticism which give him an upside, but a project that still needs a lot of work. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
