Overview

There is a lot to like about Marlon Davidson and what he can bring to the table with his ability to attack both the inside and outside of the offensive line. He has the size of an interior defensive lineman, but his athleticism is so tremendous, it allows him to work well off the edge.

The one big issue is that Davidson doesn’t have the strength or power to hold up against run like you would hope with his size, whether on the edge or inside. He has good pass rush moves to get after the quarterback, but he is going to be limited to a pass-rusher role because of the concerns he has against the run.
