PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hyper-productive edge defender with a funky build and frame that will turn some teams off and could limit his ability to translate production. Gaziano is top-heavy with stubby arms that caused noticeable issues when matched against quality tackles with length. His pocket attack is filled with effort and he is fairly skilled at the top of the rush. Short arms and a lack of suddenness do figure to limit his ability to win with speed both around the edge and on inside counters. His level of production consistency in a Power Five conference should not be ignored, but he will need to prove that effort and technique can win out over traits and explosiveness.
