He’s a big boy. At the NFL Combine he weighed in a 332 pounds. That size combined with a 6-foot 4-inch frame and a 33 1/4-inch arm length make for a mountain-sized man that isn’t pushed around very easily.
Vinnie Ronca of Pro Football Focus called him a “mauler on the inside”. Eluemunor had a solid senior season, fairing well in SEC play after just three seasons of football under his belt. The London England product is pure raw talent. He’s got a ways to go before he realizes his full potential, but he showed glimpses of what he could be throughout the 2016 season.
Finding the Right NFL Fit
"I see a team using Eluemunor as kind of a ‘sixth man’ on the line, someone who can be plugged in anywhere. His size and strength are very big assets. The main negative for him is his lack of experience, but the talent and strength are there. Experience can be given, and coaches love to coach guys up. He could develop into a starter in the near future. – Grant Britton"
