Aj Chwialkowski is a two-way force for Timnath. Standing at 6’0 235, has good upper body strength on both sides of the ball. At DT, Chwialkowski does a good job sticking into his gap low to avoid OL in the run game, his good get off plays a key role in this. He has a knack for making OL pay for oversetting to slip inside or back door and blow up plays in the backfield. He finished the season with 33 TKLs and 4 TFLs. While he is stout on the DL, I really like his athleticism on the OL. In they run game Chwialkowski is a force on pulls, as the kick-out block he consistently levels defenders and when climbing he’s mastered the skip pull to stay square to the LOS. On DBL teams he is quick to react to blitzing LBs while still being able to guide DTs to his adjacent OL by attacking the hip of the DL. In pass pro he’s got quick feet to maintain positioning and keep his feet from getting too far from the ground. While he only weighs 235, Chwialkowski still holds his own in. Continuing to add strength and weight I think he could be a good contribution to a team at the next level. If Chwialkowski can add snapping to his repertoire, it could be a valuable tool to add to his bag

Measuring in at 6’0 230-pounds, Chwialkowski was living in the backfield this past season. He had 52 total tackles (30 solo, 22 assisted), and 8 TFL. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, and lateral agility. Very good initial quickness out of his stance. Uses his quick twitch to engage first with the OL. Good hand placement, and very good hand strength. AJ’s spin move really stood out to me. Mixes between the spin and the powerful bull rush. Very good tackling, and wraps the RB. Good pursuit and doesn’t stop till the play is finished. I’m very excited to see Chwialkowski in an extended role this next season.

AJ had a great outing at the showcase. He was 2nd in the 40-yard dash, shuttle, and broad jump amongst defensive lineman. AJ has very good athletic ability due to his very good acceleration, good speed, and lateral agility. His quick feet really stood out to me. His lateral movements were stellar during the drills. Chwialkowski has a quick twitch to him. He has good hand placement and hand strength needed to engage the offensive line. If he got beat on one play, he’d come back to win the next rep. Very good competitive toughness. Good strength too. This 2027 DL is another name to watch over the next couple of years.

Chwialkowski stood out as a dominant force, even in a padless environment. His ability to stay low and take on double teams showcased his technique and strength in run-stopping situations. He executed taking on combo blocks with precision and displayed a tremendous burst when shedding blockers. Chwialkowski’s physicality was evident throughout the day, and his performance suggested that he could have been even more impressive with pads on. As a top talent in his division, his continued growth and relentless work ethic position him to become one of the most formidable linemen in the region.
