Emmanuel McNeil-Warren’s NFL Draft Potential
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren has a chance to be a Top 50 pick just two years after fellow Toledo alumnus Quinyon Mitchell was picked Round 1 by the Philadelphia Eagles. At 6’3″, 209 pounds, with over 32″ arms, McNeil-Warren’s first specialty is his support play.
He’s a supremely explosive, springy mover on both the lateral and vertical planes, and with his length and play strength, he can surge into gaps, engage blocks with force, and make solo tackles with ease.
That said, don’t be the one to make the mistake of billing McNeil-Warren as a “support only” safety. In spite of his size, he’s active and fluid managing space in two-high, he has a tight and efficient pedal, and he’s excellent in the red zone, where he can anticipate and snuff out delayed route concepts.
