A 3-4 stand-up linebacker with adequate upper-body strength, Rush showed athleticism at his pro day, but it doesn’t always translate to the tape. He will dive inside and lose contain at times, but he’s generally an instinctive defender who can get the jump on where the play is headed. He’s not a dynamic pass rusher and might not have the bend or juice to become one. He plays with good focus and intensity but has a modest ceiling as a run defender. There’s a chance Rush will hear his name called on Day 3 of the draft.
