PLAYER ANALYSIS
Early entry defensive lineman who appears to be caught between "best fit" positions at this time. Leal possesses adequate rush skills and knows how to craft a rush plan, but a lack of suddenness and closing burst turns potential sacks into hurries without the help of a long pocket count. When the motor is cranked up, he can stack and slide past run blockers with efficiency and quickness. He didn't put together the tape that was expected and disappointing reps against Evan Neal (Alabama) and Charles Cross (Mississippi State) could create concerns about his pro readiness. Most will see him as an even-front defender in some capacity, but playing 3-4 DE might be his best fit as a pro.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Two-year starter with size, length and power at the point of attack to create some excitement from evaluators heavily into traits. Peevy flashed against both average and above-average competition while at Texas A&M, but looked heavier and a shade slower in 2021. When working with proper footwork and hand quickness, he offers glimpses of dominance in jolting blockers and muddying run lanes, but his technique and performance can be a little undisciplined at times. It's easy to project him as a backup nose for odd or even fronts but he has upside and could offer additional position versatility.
