"Sahir West's production at UCLA was built on an explosive first step and a predictable but effective pass-rush plan. While he makes up for a lack of mass with good leverage, his anchor against the run at the point of attack is a question mark. His projection is that of a situational pass rusher who will need a rotational scheme to maximize his impact in the NFL."

West went from two appearances as a true freshman to 14.0 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks in a single season, then took that breakout to Westwood. He is a 6-3, 279-pound tweener who wins with first-step quickness and relentless pursuit, and the projection now hinges on whether the disruption travels against Big Ten tackles instead of Sun Belt ones.

What he does well
  • 01Disruption rate — 14.0 tackles for loss in 14 games as a freshman is elite volume for any classification, and it came on penetration rather than cleanup work.
  • 02First step — His get-off is the trait that shows on every rep; he beats blockers to the landmark before the play has a shape and forces plays backwards.
