Clint Sintim SELECTED BY: Giants Round 2 (13)

SI Grade 3.88 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a senior after totals of 70/13/11. Junior numbers included 78/9/9 after 45/10/4 the prior year.

POSITIVES: Strong, forceful linebacker best on the outside over 3-4 alignment. Breaks down well, plays with good lean, and holds his ground against blocks. Fluid moving about the field, covers a lot of area, and quickly changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack. Smooth moving in reverse, and he can turn his hips in coverage. Forceful up the field in run defense or on the blitz. Nicely redirects to the action, wraps up tackling, and immediately brings ball carriers down on initial contact.

NEGATIVES: Displays average skill in pursuit. Possesses poor ball skills and ability in coverage.

ANALYSIS: Sintim has been a very productive linebacker at Virginia, and he offers starting ability as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He is also a prospect who could line up in a three-point stance on pass rushing downs. Sintim offers a good amount of upside, and he should be productive on the NFL level once he complete his game.

PROJECTION: Second Round
