Julius Welschof brings rare size and NFL-caliber explosiveness to Charlotte’s front
Welschof is an intriguing **edge/DL prospect** because of his rare frame, measured explosiveness, and long developmental path from Germany to Michigan to Charlotte. In pre-draft testing, he checked in at about **6-foot-6, 257 pounds** with a **4.79-second 40** and strong jumps, showing the athletic traits NFL teams chase on the edge.[2] His college production was modest, but his value is in the upside: length, power, and special-teams versatility make him a fit for a team willing to bet on traits and coaching rather than immediate stat-line impact.[5][8]
