Deone Walker was a three-year starter at Kentucky who turned into one of the best pass rushing defensive tackles in college football. At 6-foot-7 and 331 pounds, Walker brings a unique skill set to the position. With skinny legs, this does not look like your prototypical nose tackle, one-tech, or three-tech defensive tackle but Walker has a dancing bear play style that can create havoc.
Kentucky used Walker in a variety of alignments across the front and his next team will likely need to be willing to do the same to maximize Walker’s value. Pad level is a concern and Walker can get pushed around in the run game. Shows good movement as a rusher and can slip off blocks. Shows real athleticism for the position despite poor testing scores.
