Malik Herring brings disruptive, high-motor edge play with real backfield presence
Malik Herring stands out as a long, physical defensive lineman who has shown steady playmaking upside for Georgia, including a 2020 season with 20 tackles and 24 quarterback pressures, and a prior career-high 26 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 2 passes defended, and 18 QB pressures. He missed only one of Georgia’s 43 games before entering the pro ranks, which speaks to durability and trust in his role, and reports on his draft path noted a knee injury at the Senior Bowl that is worth monitoring. If you want a lineman who can collapse pockets, set a hard edge, and bring effort every snap, he fits the bill.
