Ryan measures in at 6’2 180-pounds playing edge and running track. Last season, he had 50 total tackles (7 solo, 43 assisted), 2 TFL, with 3 sacks. Ryan has good athletic ability due to good lateral quickness, speed, acceleration, and balance. Demonstrates a good initial quickness. Ryan has good bend due to his good flexibility and balance. Good initial quickness and good hand speed. Uses his very good hand strength to rip through blocks and attack the backfield. He has a good swim move and bull rush to achieve this as well. Uses his good get off speed and block shedding to disengage and get the tackle. Good pursuit. Doesn’t stop till the play is finished. I’m intrigued to see how he does this upcoming season.

Ryan anchors the defensive front as a tough, physical run stuffer who embraces contact in the trenches. His quick first step and ability to diagnose plays allow him to get into the backfield and make stops near the line of scrimmage. Ryan recorded 50 total tackles, two tackles for loss and three sacks, demonstrating that he can contribute in multiple ways for this defense. He shows good leverage and discipline, holding his ground against double teams while still finding ways to pursue the football. With continued development in his pass rush technique and overall strength, Ryan has the potential to take a noticeable leap this offseason. Another strong campaign would further cement his status as a rising defensive prospect.
