Caden Curry is a high motor player with less than ideal athletic ability and zero percentile arm-length. His effort & hustle are elite, which \u2013 coupled with solid hand usage \u2013 allows him to harass as a pass rusher.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curry is strong enough, and possesses enough technical savvy, to be a solid run defender that can set the edge, despite shorter arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s hair is on fire as a player, which will endear him to coaching staffs across the NFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, Curry isn\u2019t a dynamic athlete and his measurables are sub-optimal with abysmal arm length \u2013 this will drop him down draft boards. Still, he\u2019s solid depth and a special teams player who can earn snaps on defense due to his adequate overall tool-kit and competitive toughness.<\/p>\n
