Big-bodied, NFL-caliber run stuffer who anchored CMU’s defensive front
Walton was a proven interior force for Central Michigan, finishing his CMU career with 54 games and 30 starts before becoming a 2015 sixth-round NFL draft pick, which signals real pro-level traits beyond raw production.[2][3] At 6-foot-5 and around 305-319 pounds, he stood out for size, power, and line-of-scrimmage toughness, with his CMU profile noting 32 tackles and strong disruption numbers in a season where he led defensive tackles in tackles.[1][2][7][8] He fits a team that wants a physical, old-school defensive tackle who can absorb blocks, hold gaps, and bring steady, experienced interior play.[2][4]
