Drew Ott, DE Iowa

Summary:

The 6’4″, 273 pound defensive end had his senior season shorted with the Hawkeyes, as he suffered a dislocated elbow and a torn ACL that ended his season after 6 games. Still, Ott still managed 11 tackles including 7.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles during that span.

Just a season prior, Ott had 57 tackles including 12 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception in 13 games–being named 2nd-team All-Big Ten.

He was a 3x Academic All-Big Ten Member.

While Ott isn’t the most athletic defensive end, he has a high motor and plays tough in the trenches–having a knack for finding the football (via his NFL.com draft profile):

"DRAFT PROJECTION Undrafted free agent"

"BOTTOM LINE High-effort worker, but NFL production could be limited by his lack of athleticism. Ott is a rotational base end who could find work as a backup, but that might mean Ott’s draft stock could be in some trouble."
