High-motor edge presence with proven backfield production
Melifonwu’s best calling card is disruptive efficiency: in San Diego State’s 2014 season he appeared in 13 games and produced 2.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and a quarterback hurry, showing he can finish plays rather than just occupy space. He’s listed as a 6-foot-5, 215-pound edge/defensive end, which suggests length and frame upside, but his profile also points to a lighter, speed-to-power style rather than a pure bulk monster. If you want a developmental DL who can bring effort, chase, and some pass-rush juice, he’s intriguing.
