Defensive Tackle | North Carolina | SR Marvin Austin

Height: 6-1⅝ | Weight: 309 | 40-Time: 4.90

Official Bio

Strengths:

• Good height and great bulk with broad, sturdy build

• Athletic w/ terrific speed, burst, quickness and agility

• Can penetrate and disrupt action in the backfield

• Is stout at the point of attack and able to anchor

• Very light on feet with excellent mobility and range

• Outstanding sheer strength and is naturally powerful

• Does a fantastic job in pursuit when he is motivated

• Could offer some schematic and positional versatility

Weaknesses:

• Marginal production and was not really a sack artist

• Does not possess impressive instincts or awareness

• Not technically sound and leverage is inconsistent

• Effort is lacking at times and motor is huge concern

• Isn't nasty or aggressive and lacks a killer instinct

• Bit of a prima donna and maturity's been questioned

• Ran into off-the-field trouble and had a long layoff

Notes:

Was a three-year starter for the Tar Heels --- Named 2nd Team All-ACC in 2009 --- A high-profile prep recruit who essentially had his choice of elite programs --- Missed two starts in 2009 due to the "coaches decision" --- Dismissed from the football team and didn't play in 2010 after the NCAA discovered he received $10,000 to $13,000 of improper benefits from an agent --- Was dominant at the East / West Shrine Game and also performed extremely well in workouts --- Could fit in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme --- Best fit at the next level may come as a three-technique in an even front --- Classic underachiever who doesn't always play nearly as well as he works out --- Clearly a 1st Round talent but may lack intangibles needed to maximize immense potential.

I am wishing that we get Wilkerson! If not him then Martez Wilson makes sense! I do not like Austin for his clkassic underachieving history and immaturity problems. We are a win-now team!

No thank you. I'm pretty much into staying away from any player who's scouting report says...

Exactly, there isn't a chance in hell after the Gholston debacle the Jets even consider anyone who's labeled as lacking effort or issues with motor.
