PLAYER ANALYSIS
Considered by some scouts as a "flash" prospect with high-end moments on tape, but a lack of sustained excellence and production. Onwuzurike is undersized for his position but heâs very strong for his size with the ability to anchor down against interior blockers. He's very physical and flashes moments where he is able to control and overwhelm single blocks. An explosive first step provides early momentum into the neutral zone, but he failed to post the high-end production that is usually associated with that interior trait. He's light on his feet but heavy with his hands, and that combination should lead to continued improvement as an NFL pass rusher. If he can play with the same grit we saw against Oregon and USC in 2019, Onwuzurike has a chance to become a disruptive starter in an attacking front.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-technique with compact frame who lacks desired length but possesses twitchy play strength that can make him a factor against the run. Bronson has to work hard heads-up against bigger, stronger men but he has impressive shed strength once his hands are set and the blocker is stacked. He will struggle to handle down blocks and double teams, so he might need a scheme that allows more upfield action over read-and-react. His rush is fairly active and he plays with some violence in his hands but he lacks the instincts and counters needed to make much of a mark in that area. He might not be selected in the draft, but he has intriguing physical tools.
