Long, disruptive Notre Dame DL with NFL-caliber burst
In his 2018 season at Notre Dame, Jerry Tillery was a force inside, finishing with 30 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 8 sacks while pairing rare length with quick hands and a violent first step. He stood out as a disruptive interior defender who could collapse pockets, win with power or burst, and play with enough versatility to move across front alignments. The knock was consistency—evaluators noted stretches where his motor and impact faded—but when he was locked in, he looked like a top-tier fit for a defense hunting interior pass-rush juice and size.
