POSITIVES

— Good size with a thick build. has good movement skills for his size.

— Physical and strong at the point of attack which, combined with his block recognition, allows him to set the edge against offensive tackles.

— Gets off blocks well. Has the strength to shed and has a nice cross-chop to defeat blocks.

— Impressive when turning speed to power as a rusher. Keeps his feet moving through contact and has the strength to push through the tackle's inside shoulder.

— Good at playing the offensive lineman's hands when rushing the passer.

— Has a good motor to make hustle plays and get coverage sacks.

NEGATIVES

— Not very quick-twitched, which can limit his pass-rush arsenal beyond playing the hands and winning with power.

— Has average change of direction, so offensive tackles with good feet will be able to stay in front of him on a lot of finesse moves.

— Ankles and hips look a little stiff, limiting his bend and ability to turn tight corners at the top of the rush.

— Has a habit of diving at feet when tackling, especially in space, leading to misses.

OVERALL

Standing at 6'4" and nearly 275 pounds, Bralen Trice has a great frame for an NFL edge. He puts that to good use against the run and as a pass-rusher.

His upper-body strength is impressive, and he reads blocks well to set the edge against offensive tackles. He makes his money turning speed to power as a pass-rusher, though.

While Trice has good athleticism for his size, he's just OK generally speaking. That limits his pass-rush arsenal, as he's not quick-twitched and he lacks the change of direction and athletic ability to pull off finesse moves. His bend is also subpar compared to his peers, hindering his ability to get sacks around the edge.

While Trice did play as a standup outside linebacker in college and would drop his coverage, his lack of high-end athleticism also might limit his scheme fit in the NFL. Trice would probably be best as a hand-in-the-ground defensive end in even fronts as a pro.

His get-off is a little better out of a three-point stance, which will help his leverage at the point of attack.
