PK Ackah-Yensu

LB Robert Morris University

6’2 235

Overall Grade: 74

Player Profile: 

Strengths:

• Sublime get off post snap
• Violent, active, attacking pass rush 
• Explosive closing speed to be effective on stunts, splitting gaps
• Timely bend and dip to win around edge
• Motor and play strength to take on blocks, absorb/transition to tackle
• Dangerous and active chase down player when left unblocked

Weaknesses: 

• Limited array of pass rush moves seen/utilized
• Frame and lack of power limits position to 7 and 9 tech

Overview: 

PK is an explosive, eye popping edge rusher from Robert Morris University that has the skill set and desired athleticism to play at the next level. PK wins with his initial first step to attacking offensive lineman with his mobility. PK will be able to get into lineman’s pads instantly and set up a quick swipe, rip, dip and bend move around the edge. 

PK also excelled when left unblocked against the run as a backside defender where he utilized his closing speed and high motor to chase down ball carries and disrupt. There isn’t much else seen from PK’s pass rush plan but he has the athleticism to be able to set up spin and swim moves along with fulfilling his frame while keeping his speed to be able to rush with power. 

PK will need to continue to add moves and power to his bag to become an every down guy or could become vulnerable against the run in early down situations. I can envision PK as a pass rush specialist at the next level already having the uncoachable physical traits in his bag.
