2020 NFL Draft: Miami Hurricanes prospects to watch in Week 1

EDGE Jonathan Garvin

Garvin is one of the most underrated pass rushers in this draft class.

The junior edge rusher comes in at 6-foot-4, 256 pounds and has exceptional quickness coming off the edge.

He’s a good overall athlete with good short area quickness and burst. Garvin times his jump off the snap well on every snap and, while he wins mostly with speed, he can unlock a few moves to free himself.

Garvin keeps his pads down and his go-to is a dip and rip move, but he mixes in a swim move occasionally. He has room to widen his arsenal a bit, but he continually finds ways to get into the backfield. He doesn’t always take the most effective angles when he’s able to free himself, but Garvin flashes the ability to bend the edge and can finish with impressive power.

Garvin has room to improve as a run defender but the flashes are there. He does have times where he struggles to free himself at the point-of-attack, but he is a hand fighter that can stack-and-shed and close quickly, he just needs to build consistency.

He takes good angles in pursuit downfield and provides backside support on a consistent basis.

Garvin has good lateral agility and is effective on twists and loops. He has speed going across the face and can occupy multiple blockers at once to create opportunities for his teammates.

Florida is breaking in new starters at left and right tackle. Given their lack of experience and the types of traits Garvin displays, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him make a few game-changing plays Saturday.
