Jalen Mayfield Draft Profile
Strengths
Youth and athleticism combines perfectly with Jaylen Mayfield. At 20 years old, there’s plenty of growing and improving as a player remaining. Despite being listed at 326 pounds, Mayfield is also extremely athletic and surprisingly nimble. But while he is nimble, he has the power and strength to take the bull rush head on and still win.
Weaknesses
Mayfield’s hand technique is close to terrible, while will give experienced pass rushers the opportunity to swat them away. He also leans and reaches far too often instead of using his feet, leading to too many unbalanced snaps. Finally, while his age can be good for teams capable of developing him, it also means Mayfield is less experienced than most other prospects.
