Reminds Us Of

Preston Smith
Preston Smith
EDGE / 6-5 / 271
Mississippi StateMississippi State · HS Class of 2011
Washington2015 Draft · Rnd 2 · Pick 38

Dani Dennis-Sutton is a little more developed than Preston Smith coming out of Stephenson (Ga.) Stone Mountain in the 2011 cycle. We still ultimately see Dennis-Sutton becoming a similar style player to Smith as a big, powerful defensive end with plus athleticism. Dennis-Sutton is around 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and has the room to continue adding mass once he’s in Penn State’s strength program. Smith was around 6-foot-5, 271 pounds at the NFL Combine after four years at Mississippi State.

Dani Dennis-Sutton Scouting Summary
Charles Power
10/27/21

Energetic defensive lineman who plays with a quick initial burst. Combines quickness, fast hands and effort level to create disruption behind the line of scrimmage. Shows some violent tendencies at the point of attack. Muscular and physically developed, particularly throughout his upper body. Not an overly nuanced pass rusher at this stage. Tests as a strong athlete at his size and position, running an electronically-timed sub-5.0 second 40-yard dash prior to his senior season. Doubles as a talented basketball player. Junior season was cancelled due to COVID-19 and missed a portion of his senior season with a dislocated elbow.
