Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jeremiah Gemmel
Summary

Shemar James is a smaller linebacker prospect who does a better job avoiding blocks than disengaging from them. He has the requisite speed to trail in coverage and play sideline to sideline, but lacks the ideal mass to play in space. James had a high missed tackle rate as a result of not coming to balance in space.

  • Good quickness to shoot gaps as a rusher and move the quarterback off his spot
  • Plays to the whistle sideline to sideline
Weaknesses

  • Lacks ideal mass to play in the box
