STRENGTHS
Adetomiwa is one of the best Defensive linemen in this draft. He can rush the passer from multiple positions in the front fore and is an excellent run defender too. He is a nightmare fighting through a double team. Tomi has excellent overall athleticism, quickness, and strength to become a dominating pass rusher and run-stuffing player very much like former Giants Michael Strahan. His ability to control his opponent after he snaps off the line of scrimmage is unique and shows the upper and lower body strength along with the hand strength that is unique. He has gotten better every year and shows his leadership skills through his play on the field and teammate-like work ethic. Adetomiwa comes off the line of scrimmage like a tommie gun, firing off and obliterating offensive linemen from every position on the defensive line and never stops firing until the job is done. It might not be politically correct but I call him Adetomiwa (Tommie gun) Adebawore.
CONCERNS
Teams will downgrade him because he did not play in the SEC and did not get the coaching an SEC player gets and that will be a big mistake.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.69
I believe Tomi hasn’t come close to reaching his potential to become a dominating defensive lineman for the team that selects him. As I stated before he can play any down or distance on the inside or outside and in any style of defense because he can stop the run or rush the passer from the inside or line up on the outside. The only issue holding his evaluation back (I suspect) for most teams is that he didn’t play in the SEC and his sack numbers are not that high but don’t be fooled, he is just an excellent teammate who just needs more coaching to develop. Because I’m too old to be politically correct I think the name tommie gun is just a perfect name for the style of his play. That being said, the “Beast of the East” ain’t bad either, if he is selected by an NFC or AFC East team. He’s a beast.
