Amari McNeill is the Buffs’ sturdy, disruptive interior plug with NFL traits
McNeill is a big, reliable interior defender at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds who gave Colorado real snap-to-snap value in the 2025 season, finishing with 18 tackles, 0.5 sacks and 1 forced fumble in that year’s game log. He stands out more for power, length and consistency than splashy box-score chaos, but he has shown he can collapse pockets, hold up against the run and flash play-making ability with 7 career sacks and 3 forced fumbles across his Colorado career. The fit? If a team wants a grown-man DT who brings toughness, experience and NFL-sized tools, McNeill is a very credible yes.
