Pro-ready run stuffer with disruptive hands and steady pressure upside
Caldwell profiles as a physical, high-effort **defensive tackle** who made his biggest impact at Oregon by anchoring the run game and consistently collapsing pockets; in 2024 he posted 29 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble, three pass breakups, and an 80.3 PFF defensive grade with 20 pressures, including multiple-pressure games in nine outings.[6] He is attractive if you need a sturdy interior lineman who plays with leverage and reliability more than gaudy sack totals, though his value is stronger against the run than as a pure pass-rush finisher.[6][8]
