- As he faces bigger and longer tackles in the NFL he will need to develop a counter plan and will need to work on his ability to shed bulkier opponents.
- He needs to work on his power profile as it is when he is engaged in contact he gets locked up.

SUMMARY
Isaiah Foskey is a plug-and-play-ready NFL player who has a really high floor. If your team needs an edge rusher to come in and contribute straight away they won’t go far wrong with Foskey. However, how much room he has to grow further develop should be given consideration and how high he goes depends on how maxed-out NFL teams think he already is. He is a player who looks like he will be a steady rusher in the NFL, but, he may not be able to hit the heights of the NFL elite.
