Here is my scouting report on Devin Bush, LB out of Michigan:

  • Incredibly quick
  • Freak athlete
  • Lays the hammer and hits well
  • Average hustle even though he has sideline-to-sideline speed
  • Pursuit angles need to be worked on.
  • Can knife through blocking paths and people with ease
  • Can blitz off the edge or through the A-gap
  • Want him to use his hands better to get rid of trash at his feet
  • Played a lot in zone coverage but has elite man coverage fluidity to cover TEs and RBs
  • Good read-to-react for determining run versus pass and pass versus run
  • He doesn’t like to take on blocks from OL head-on
  • Has to fix issues with angles and how it corresponds to tackling (at feet or missing)
  • Going to miss tackles in the NFL dealing with NFL speed but he has the upside with his pass coverage ability
  • Drop him as your Mo or WILL LB and he’s going to be amazing in that role
  • Can carry seam receivers down the field
