Travon Walker Draft Profile
Strengths
Travon Walker is a big, strong run stopper that consistently takes control at the point of attack. He is about as aggressive as it gets on the line and will make opposing linemen pay for underestimating his ability to break through. Walker displays excellent power, length and footwork that will certainly lead to his name being called in the first round. He also possesses rare athleticism and explosive get-off.
Weaknesses
While Walker is less skilled rushing the passer, mostly using his athleticism to win in college, which won’t be as successful in the NFL. He has the pure power and aggressiveness to burst his way through the line and potentially sack the opposing quarterback, but it is very possible he will be taken out on passing downs early in his career. Still, with the athleticism he possesses, he has the potential to become a skilled every-down player.
