"Few college linemen enter the draft with the polished hand-fighting and run-stopping anchor of John Henry Daley. His game is built on overwhelming offensive tackles with violent hands and a relentless motor rather than pure speed around the edge. This ready-made technical foundation projects him as a high-floor, immediate starter."
He had 17.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks at Utah in 2025, tore his Achilles at the end of it, and followed Kyle Whittingham to Michigan to prove the breakout was real.
What he does well
- 01Get-off — His first step is the reason tackles have to set early, and it is what turns a straight bull rush into a legitimate speed-to-power win.
- 02Disruption volume — Seventeen and a half tackles for loss in eleven games is top-five national production, not a handful of cleanup plays.
