Jimmy Staten brings NFL-sized power and proven interior disruption
Staten’s appeal comes from his compact, pro-built frame and a college résumé that showed steady production, including **30 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and two quarterback hurries** in his final season for Middle Tennessee.[1][2] He’s a defender who can anchor against the run while still flashing enough burst to finish plays, which is why he translated to a fifth-round NFL draft pick out of Middle Tennessee.[3][5] The main differentiator is reliability: he played 467 snaps and held up through volume, making him a fit for teams that value tough, interior line play over flash.[1]
