The Colorado State Rams football program is by far by no means a good team.\u00a0It’s been rough for the Rams as the<\/span>y have an under .500 record all time,\u00a0<\/span>and recently, it has not been any better. However, there have been some hidden gems by the Rams that have thrived in the NFL today. Shaq Barrett, Michael Gallup, and rising star Trey McBride have made their mark as serious players in the NFL. Next is a gem making his way into the NFL draft scene, Mo Kamara. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kamara was a three-star recruit<\/a> out of Newark, NJ, and committed to Colorado State. During<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Mohamed’s first three years as a Tampa, he was a valuable role player.\u00a0In his senior season, Kamara became a star, recording eight sacks and 16 tackles for loss.\u00a0<\/span>He returned for his Covid sixth year and had a season for the ages.\u00a0He was awarded Mountain West defensive player<\/a> of the year with 13 sacks and cemented himself as a ram legend. Kamara is a pass-rushing fiend who plays with reckless physical abandon.\u00a0Has his pass-rushing expertise earned him an early-round grade? Let’s dig into the film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2024 NFL Draft: Mohamed Kamara Scouting Report<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kamara\u2019s <\/strong><\/em>Strengths<\/i><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • He has a very good\u00a0get-off and times up the snap well on passing downs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • He has a good pass-rush plan and sets up the offensive tackle nicely with a nice inside rush move.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • He has a good rip move to win around the edge and can flash a solid bend to secure the win on the rush. He also flashes a good two-hand swipe, swim move, and effective bull rush.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It has a Relentless nonstop motor that is always running.\u00a0He will be a candidate to get coverage sacks at the next level.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • He plays with good pad level and good leverage as a run defender and pass rusher at the point of attack. He helps with stunts and double teams to get after the quarterback.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The 80+ and 90+ percentiles in major athletic categories include the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split,\u00a0and Vertical and Broad jump.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Kamara\u2019s Weakness<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • He lacks\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>NFL Edge defender size and length to be a three-down player. He is a pure third down Pass rush specialist only to start his career at the least.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • He needs to improve his timing and accuracy with his hands. He’s often late with his hands, which is a no-no for him due to his small size. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • He’s beaten once offensive linemen get their hands on him due to his short arms.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Does not have elite Bend.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • It can be exploited with misdirection plays cut to\u00a0<\/span>his aggressive style of football. He misses more tackles than you would like from a defensive line prospect.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
