Princely Umanmielen’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Princely Umanmielen’s collegiate production speaks for itself (17.5 sacks and 26 TFLs over the past two seasons), but it’s his physical attributes and high motor that make Umanmielen an intriguing prospect. He’s explosive off the snap and has the speed to give opposing offensive tackles fits off the edge. His combination of speed and length gives him significant physical upside to work with at the next level.
Umanmielen could struggle early in his NFL career against the run due to play strength, but he has the flexibility to acquire leverage, and the spatial IQ to thrive in gap pursuit. His best role early on would likely be as a pass-rushing specialist in a base 3-4 scheme. Even there, he has to improve his power element, but the upside with his length and hyper-elite first-step quickness is truly extraordinary.

Princely Umanmielen is tougher to figure out as a prospect, but the upside is clear as a pass-rush threat. He logged 11.5 sacks and 22 TFLs in his final two years at Florida and then had a career-best season at Ole Miss in 2024, amassing 10.5 sacks and 14 TFLs.
Umanmielen weighed in at 264 pounds at the Senior Bowl and then 244 pounds at the NFL Combine. His playing weight likely rests in the middle, and at 6’4″, with over 34″ arms, he has the size and length to be a phase-diverse defender with his rare explosion and bend.
Right now, Umanmielen doesn’t have much of a power-rushing component, which is something he’ll have to build up in the NFL. That said, he’s a deadly speed and finesse rusher who can also use his length, flexibility, and instincts to hold strong in run defense.
