Scouting Report

Reese Jr. is a tough prospect to evaluate. Many project him as a full-time edge in the league, but he logged just 104 pass-rush snaps this season (per PFF) and did not record a sack in the final six games. The flashes are there both as a pass rusher and as an off-ball linebacker, and his versatility jumps off the tape. He can be an excellent chess piece for a defensive coordinator if a staff is patient and clear about his long-term role.
