a relentless run-stuffer with pro-level power and discipline
Tomlinson’s Alabama calling card was pure interior toughness: he was widely viewed as one of the elite run defenders in his draft class, with powerful hands, a low center of gravity, and the kind of anchor strength that makes offensive linemen miserable. At Alabama, he also showed surprising disruption ability for a space-eater, posting 43 QB pressures and 23 run stops in 2016. He fits teams that want a dependable, high-effort defensive lineman who wins with leverage, consistency, and nasty gap control more than splashy stats.
