Reminds Us Of

Clelin Ferrell

ClemsonClemson · HS Class of 2015
Las Vegas2019 Draft · Rnd 1 · Pick 4

Chris Whitehead's physical traits and play style remind us of Clelin Ferrell at the same stage. Both Whitehead and Ferrell were around the same size with plus length and plenty of room to continue filling out. Like Ferrell, Whitehead is a power rusher who plays with strong effort with room to continue improving the fluidity in his movement skills and overall technique.

Chris Whitehead Scouting Summary
Cody Bellaire
03/04/26

Knifing edge defender whose athleticism jumps off the screen as a pass rusher and space player. Tremendous burst and the ability to get skinny between blockers to make plays in the backfield consistently. Verified 6-foot-4, 230-pound edge defender with 34-inch arms that lives behind the line of scrimmage. Effective pass rusher that wins with burst and active hands. Has the ability to get upfield and bend the corner effectively. Closes space quickly when working in the open field and is comfortable playing to the flat. Need to see more from him at the point of attack to set the edge consistently, but has the frame to add mass and get stronger. Has the ability to be an effective pass rusher early on in his career at the next level, but will need to continue developing his body in order to reach his ceiling as a complete edge defender.
