Despite carrying bad weight on his frame in the past, Neal was much quicker and more impactful as a nose for the Purdue defense, but his knee injury took away 2019 and he was just too heavy to get a good feel for what he could do in 2020. A re-watch of his 2018 tape shows flashes of snap quickness and power at the point of attack, but his play was still a little uneven against the better competition he faced. Unfortunately, it's unlikely teams will put a great deal of stock into 2018, as he was unable to show he could play at his top form this past season.
