OVERVIEW Anytime a defensive lineman consistently gets moving quickly at the snap, he can get into the backfield to disrupt and make plays. Wroten has the quick feet, playing speed and closing burst to chase down plays in pursuit, and to close quickly on the quarterback when he gets through the line of scrimmage on pass rush. He has the natural strength to be a force at the point of attack. He can hold his ground against double-team run blocks, split the block and make the play. Overall, Wroten probably will be a good starting defensive tackle in the NFL who can do a good job as the under tackle in a 4-3 defense or as an end in a 3-4 defense. He can stack the point of attack against the run, can chase down running backs on outside runs, and can get into the backfield to pressure the quarterback. Wroten is a very good athlete who consistently gets off the ball very quickly and can shoot into gaps to get backfield penetration. He has the playing speed and closing burst to chase down plays in backside pursuit. When he bends his knees and plays with leverage, he has the natural strength to stack the point of attack, and can shed and make plays on inside runs. Additionally, he shows the strength to jolt an offensive lineman and drive him backward into the quarterback's lap when he bull rushes aggressively. Wroten is a very good athlete with all the physical tools you could ask for in a defensive tackle. His very quick feet combine with his instincts to help him burst off the ball right at the snap consistently. His quick feet and agility help him to plant a foot, change directions and burst in the other direction to finish plays he gets close to. He accelerates to full speed fast and has the playing speed to chase down plays from behind. He has the natural flexibility to play low and with leverage at the point of attack. He has been a tough football player during his two years at LSU and has consistently played with a tough and aggressive demeanor. He is a consistently productive player who has shown a knack for focusing better on the most important downs. He stays low, bursts off the ball and disrupts/makes plays in the backfield before they get started. The key for Wroten's production is playing low and using his hands aggressively. He is a competitive team player who always gives a good effort and consistently hustles and chases hard after the ball from snap to whistle. When he does not make a play, it is not due to a lack of hustle; he never quits on a play. Bios courtesy of NFLDraftScout.com ---
