STRENGTHS
Derrick is a player that uses his height to his advantage. He uses his quick first step to cut down the length advantages opponents may have against him. Derrick is better against the run able to stack and shed to get into gaps. Uses his speed and technique to win in the passing game.
WEAKNESSES
Nnadi doesn’t have ideal size for the next level. Needs to continue to get better with his hands to stay on the field on passing downs. Can be beat by players with bigger size if they can get arms on him. Double teams drive him dow the field.
BIG PICTURE
Nnadi is a player that has continued to develop every year. He was a 4 year contributor and a major ACC program. While he is shorter and lighter than what would be ideal, he carries his weight well through his waist and has a good bubble. Nnadi is a player that wins with speed and technique, but will continue to work on his hands to play all three downs at the next level. He wins in the run game by capitalizing on shooting gaps and shedding blocks when the play comes his way. Look for him to be a late day 2, early day three pick with a team that has a need for a run stopping tackle.
