2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Adisa Isaac

Prospect Summary:

Over the past two seasons, Penn State had two talented edge rushers with Chop Robinson and Isaac. In 2022, Isaac started to flash for the Nittany Lions with 28 tackles and four sacks. He was even better as a senior, recording 37 tackles, 7.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Isaac is a physical defender at the point of attack. He is tough as nails and difficult to move in the ground game. Isaac holds his gap well with the strength to work off blocks. Thanks to his a quality lateral anchor and good leverage, offensive linemen struggle to move Isaac. He routinely takes on and shed blocks to get in on tackles that help produce quality down-and-distance situations. Isaac has a steady motor and doesn’t quit on plays. With his strength, build, good fundamentals, and technique, Isaac should be an asset as a run defender in the NFL.

In the pass rush, Isaac is a solid contributor, but not a world-beater. He has upside with some quickness and athleticism off the edge. Isaac possesses a powerful bull rush and can burst out of his stance, but he lacks pass-rushing moves, using either speed or power. Isaac will probably never be a prolific sacker of the quarterback as a pro, but he could be a solid complement to good rushers around him.

Isaac could be a second-day pick in the 2024 NFL Draft who develops into being a quality starter.
