Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 78.38 (Reserve/backup)

Pro Comparison: Calijah Kancey

Summary

JJ Pegues is a versatile and disruptive athlete who can wreak havoc as an interior presence but is also a former tight end and fullback who can pull double duty if needed. He’s a high-effort player who excels in pass-rushing games and is a leader on and off the field.

About

2024: Third-team All-SEC
2024: Played offense as a part of Ole Miss' jumbo package and finished second on the team with seven rushing touchdowns

Strengths

Elite athletes with twitch like this don’t grow on trees. His testing will separate him among his peers.
Plays with excellent leverage at the point and mobile and athletic enough to recover if reached
Team leader and high-character player who is someone you want on your team

Weaknesses

Shorter arms will be a cause for concern and hinder his ability to be consistent on early down-and-distance plays
Power rush and long arm need improvement to crush the pocket
Hand placement and ability to anchor vs. gap schemes in running the game are lacking at times.
