SUMMARY
Gervon Dexter is a powerful athlete who competes on pure strength. At the moment his pass rush and run defence are still pretty raw and he will need to add counter and skill moves to his game to remain dynamic at the next level. When he wins, his excellent size, length and strength show. As a pass rusher, this can make him a bit too predictable, meaning offensive linemen learn to deal with him as the game goes on. If he can add to his pass rush portfolio he will be a 3-down DT in the NFL.
