Per ESPN analytics, Indianapolis had the 15th highest pass rush win rate at 42%. He needs to take a big leap forward in 2021.Īs previously noted, the Colts ranked 12th (tied) in most sacks with 40.0 sacks this past season. Meanwhile, soon-to-be 3rd year pass rusher and former 2019 second round pick Ben Banogu has been underwhelming to begin his NFL career-as routinely a healthy scratch down the stretch of this past season. Now, the Colts obviously have a long-term need at pass rusher, as veteran defensive end starters Justin Houston (32) and Denico Autry (30) are set to become free agents this offseason, as is rotational defensive lineman Al-Quadin Muhammad.ĭespite showing initial flashes of promise, Colts’ young pass rusher Kemoko Turay appears to be working his way back from a prior season-ending ankle surgery and hasn’t consistently put it all together on the field yet. Was on Freak List over the summer - 4.33 40 & 36.5" Verical /OpJcs2cir6- Ben Fennell October 25, 2020 Oweh will be a riser in #2021NFLDraft throughout this season. Jayson Oweh (9) & Shaka Toney (6) had 15 QB pressures between them in OT loss to Indiana Overall, Oweh is an intriguing talent with his best football ahead of him. He will get washed by down blocks when aligned inside. He plays too high against the run, but he uses his length to press out tackles and set the edge. He didn’t have any sacks to show for it in 2020, though. He does have the ability to bend at the top of his rush and collected a lot of QB hits on the tape I watched. However, there are too many snaps where he doesn’t have much of a plan. As a pass rusher, he explodes out of his four-point stance and flashes an effective chop/rip and an occasional up/under move. He is more disruptive than productive on 2020 tape. Oweh is a long, lean-muscled edge rusher. Here’s the scouting report on the 6’5”, 252 pound pass rusher, who is currently NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah’s 27th best draft prospect overall: However, as it relates purely to Oweh, he recorded 38 tackles (20 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, and a pass defensed during 7 starts as a redshirt sophomore for the Nittany Lions. Now, some Colts fans may blow a gasket here if either North Dakota State’s Trey Lance or Ohio State’s Justin Fields fall to #12 and to #15 respectively, and Indianapolis makes no attempt to move up and snag one of the top quarterback prospects. Oweh might be too tempting to pass on despite his need for pass-rush polish. The Colts could go with a cornerback here, but they covet elite length and explosiveness off the edge. School: Penn State | Year: Sophomore (RS) According to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, the Indianapolis Colts will select Penn State pass rusher Jayson Oweh with the 21st overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft in his recent mock draft:
