Kyle Dugger 2020 NFL Draft Profile

Measureables: 6’2″ 200 LBs

Kyle Dugger is one of the best defensive players you have never heard of. He was a myth because of the hype surrounding him, but the level of play was having scouts question his value. He burst on the scene at the Senior Bowl and really played lights out against top competition. He is a beast of an athlete and is just relentless to the ball. And boy can he hit. You feel like you have to check someone’s pulse on some of the hits he delivers. His ball skills are tremendous and he is a phenomenal return man as well. Imagine a young Marshawn Lynch playing safety but with all of the coverage skills. He is an intriguing prospect and teams can’t wait to evaluate him in the coming weeks.
