was due for a re-evaluation after a super impressive Combine Series performance that earned him LB MVP honors. The incoming senior led the Titans’ defense last season with 68 total tackles, 18.5 TFLs, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, and an interception. Paxton’s intensity stands out immediately, as he plays with the fiery motor you like to see from your inside linebackers. He has a fast first step that helps him shoot his gaps very quickly, and plays with effective hands when engaged with blockers at the line of scrimmage. Once he’s worked his way into the backfield, Blanchard displays the closing speed to chase down ball carriers and reduce big plays from the offense. Paxton also plays great in space, showing his natural instincts in coverage and the ability to make open-field tackles. Physical tackler at the point of attack. Blanchard ran a 4.8 40-yard dash and had an 8’11” broad jump. Definitely a player teams need to start looking at ASAP!
