3 pass rushers at the NFL Combine to keep an eye on " Inside The Star

"Keldric Faulk, coming out of Auburn, is six-foot-six and 285 pounds, an impressive specimen for a 20-year-old. While he is still working with his hand work and needs to be more explosive at the point of attack, his body is NFL ready. His brute strength will help him get a start in the NFL and he will make some fine plays based on his raw ability alone."

"Fresh off of winning a National Championship with Miami, Ahkeem Mesidor is ready for the next step in his football career. The six-foot-three, 265-pound pass rusher is already 25 years old and has played four years of college ball. While strong and powerful, Mesidor may be undersized for many NFL teams. However, he plays the run game extremely well and can have some success on schemed-up plays."

"Another "undersized" pass rusher, TJ Parker of Clemson is six-foot-three and 260 pounds. He had 11.5 sacks in 2024, but was not nearly as productive in 2025. Many NFL scouts believe that his dip in production this past season was because opposing offenses paid more attention to him and gave help to the primary blocker."

The NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis features hundreds of prospects competing in drills and meetings with teams. Pass rushers are particularly important as NFL teams seek players who can penetrate opposing backfields through grit and determination. Keldric Faulk from Auburn is an impressive physical specimen at six-foot-six and 285 pounds with NFL-ready body composition, though he needs to develop hand work and explosiveness. Akheem Mesidor, a Miami National Championship winner, is 25 years old and strong but potentially undersized at six-foot-three and 265 pounds, excelling in run defense and schemed plays. TJ Parker from Clemson, also undersized at six-foot-three and 260 pounds, recorded 11.5 sacks in 2024 but struggled when receiving increased attention from opposing offenses.
