Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Dexter Lawrence
Summary
McDonald has a massive and powerful frame and uses his leverage to his advantage as a run stuffer. He plays with good lateral movement and hand usage with the ability to play on the other side of the line of scrimmage. McDonald rarely gets knocked off the ball and can hold his gap on double teams. If he can develop his pass rushing skills then he could be a pro bowl caliber player.
About
