2020 NFL Combine: Defensive Tackle Prospects, Invites, What To Watch For

Rankings and what to watch for out of all the defensive tackle prospects invited to the 2020 NFL Combine.

5. Ross Blacklock, TCU 6-4, 305 (Late 1st)

Why He’s Here On The List: Ultra-quick with just enough size to be moved around to a variety of spots on a line, he’s an interior pass rusher with the upside and body to add a bit more to his frame – he can play heavier if needed. He still has he best football ahead of him if he can stay healthy.

What The NFL Types Want To See: Supreme athleticism. He has to look and move like one of the most athletic big men on the field with the upside to become a dominant force. He has to look like he’s well past the torn Achilles that knocked him out for all of 2018.

Bottom Line: For being an occasionally unblockable force, he only came up with 3.5 sacks last season and nine tackles for loss. He’s got the size and the athleticism to be a terror, but he needs a great workout to be a first round lock. A dominant combine pushes him into the top 20.
