What the analysts are saying

• "Nnadi has a good motor, active hands and enough pass rush ability to cause problems for blockers up front. Nnadi has the physical tools to play in one or two-gap schemes and has NFL starting ability." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "A stout run defender with a solid frame, Nnadi uses his lack of ideal height as an advantage, routinely getting better leverage and pad level than his opposing blocker. His impact goes well beyond the box score, though he still tallied 15 tackles for loss over the past two seasons." - Luke Easterling, DraftWire
• "He played well, causing disruption at the point of attack. Nnadi has good strength and quickness, but also faces some size limitations. He would fit well on the inside of a 4-3 defense as a nose tackle." - Charlie Campbell, Walter Football
