ESPN Scouting Report
STRENGTHS: Possesses an excellent frame and very nimble feet. Explodes out of his stance and can deliver good initial pop. Has a very strong initial punch and the balance to sustain blocks. Comfortable in space and shows the ability to pull and trap. Flashes a good finishing attitude. …AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Lacks ideal bulk and will need to get stronger. A bit of waist bender who needs to work on sinking his hips. Must develop pre-snap diagnosis skills. …BOTTOM LINE: Ealy with his length and athleticism, we feel has good upside as a tackle prospect. If he can fill out his frame and add functional strength, Ealy has the potential to be an excellent player.
