Pros:
Exceptional burst off the edge with elite first-step quickness, consistently beating offensive tackles to their set points and disrupting backfield timing
Natural bend and flexibility allows him to maintain speed while turning tight corners, displaying advanced ability to flatten to the quarterback
Strong hands at the point of attack, demonstrates ability to stack and shed blockers while maintaining gap discipline
Explosive closing speed in pursuit, covering significant ground with long strides and efficient movement patterns
Advanced pass-rush repertoire including effective cross-chop and inside counter moves that keep blockers off balance
Disciplined edge setter in run defense, consistently maintains outside leverage while working down the line of scrimmage
High football IQ evident in recognition of screen plays and ability to quickly diagnose run vs pass
Versatile defender capable of playing multiple techniques, showing effectiveness both standing up and with hand in dirt
Cons:
Frame needs additional bulk and functional strength to consistently hold up against NFL-caliber offensive tackles in run game
Can get caught playing too high in run defense, allowing offensive linemen to get into his chest and drive him off the ball
Still developing counter moves when initial pass rush is stalled, needs to expand arsenal of secondary rush techniques
Limited experience against top-tier competition after transfer from LSU to Jackson State raises questions about learning curve
Tendency to rely too heavily on athletic ability rather than technique when engaged with blockers in extended battles
Summary:
Phillip Webb’s impressive physical attributes and production across various levels of competition suggest he’s well-suited for a situational pass-rushing role early in his NFL career. His unique blend of length, burst, and agility makes him an asset in sub-packages, while he continues to develop the strength necessary for every-down responsibilities.
Webb’s skills are best utilized in a 3-4 defensive scheme, where he can leverage his athleticism from a two-point stance. However, he has demonstrated adaptability and can thrive in multiple fronts. To reach his full potential as an NFL edge defender, he must refine his power moves and counter-rushing techniques.
Webb’s athletic profile and pass-rushing foundation are promising, positioning him for success in the NFL, particularly in passing situations where his explosiveness and agility can shine. His development trajectory indicates a prospect with starter upside, contingent upon continued strength and technical improvements.
