Tom Kwiatkowski Tom Kwiatkowski 6'1" | 285 lbs | DL St. Joseph's (Metuchen) | 2026 State NJ is a solid and savvy interior defensive lineman who shows flashes of excellence at moments. We see that he can execute the hump move to shed over-extended defenders and is used well in line stunts. Should Kwiatkowski not get home to the quarterback, he knows to match the his hand. As a tackler, his feet buzz through contact. On the topic of his feet, Kwiatkowski is quick when slanting and pursues with reckless abandon. As a pass rusher Kwiatkowski would benefit from working through a half man; and his pad level can be lower so he does not get displaced when galloped by offensive linemen.

The first of several big bodies that the Falcons have to offer is Tom Kwiatkowski Tom Kwiatkowski 6'1" | 285 lbs | DL St. Joseph's (Metuchen) | 2026 State NJ . The defensive tackle and guard was credited with 12 tackles (6 solos) and 2 tackles for loss on the year. We see that Kwiatkowski moves very well on N-T interior line stunts, allowing himself to penetrate into the backfield mostly untouched. I am curious to see how many batted balls he amassed over the season, for on his film shows that he does a great job of matching the quarterback’s hand when he cannot get home. As an offensive guard in a Wing-T offense Kwiatkowski is asked to pull at a high rate. As such, Kwiatkowski’s eyes are trained to peel back to the inside for any leakage if he is not asked to trap or kick out. Another thing I am curious about is what Kwiatkowski’s single-rep max is for bench press. Several times on his highlights we see him extend on defenders – both at the line and in space – and send them airborne. One thing I want to see Kwiatkowski improve is his flexibility. For as big and strong as he is, as his elasticity improves in his lower half he will be able to accomplish two things: lift more weight and bend lower to play at an improved pad level.
