Johnathan Abram

He's not someone you want in coverage very often, as he's a much better in-your-face run-stopper. He plays with attitude, always trying to stir up emotions on the other side of the field, though that will get penalties at the next level. Reminds me of the A.J. Pierzynski of college football where you like him when he's on your team, but you'll hate him when he's on the other sideline. He can be too aggressive in his tackling pursuit at times, as he always wants to make the big hit. There are some strengths to his game, but also enough weaknesses to keep him well out of the first-round. His 4.45-second 40-time will boost him up draft boards a bit, as he has speed and power.
