NFL Draft           2008 Draft Player Analysis

 

                         

Text Box: DT Rank 3 Rating 2.2 Trevor Laws Ht: 6-1 Wt: 302  Statistics 2007 Started all 12 games at DE. Led the team with 112 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 7 quarterback hurries, 2 fumble recoveries, 5 pass deflections, 3 blocked kicks. 2006 Started all 13 games at DT. 62 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 quarterback hurries, 1 blocked kick. 2005 Started all 12 games at DT. 33 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, 2 blocked kicks. 2004 Played all 12 games. 17 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack. Analysis Laws is a strong, stout, gap-penetrating defender who plays with a non-stop motor. He is quick off the snap, takes good angles to the ball, and is relentless in pursuit. Laws graduated in May 2007 with a degree in Marketing and Sociology; he earned a 3.22 GPA. Laws was a 3 time high school All American wrestler, compiling a 142-5 career record. As a result, he understands how to play with great leverage. He is able to effectively get underneath his opponents pads and gain backfield penetration. He is best suited to the 3-technique in a four-man front, but could also play DE in a 3-4 front as he did in ’07 with the Irish. He is also a solid, wrap-up tackler. In conclusion, Laws really benefited by returning to South Bend for his 5th year of eligibility, enjoying a stellar individual season. He more than held his own at the Senior Bowl and will continue to do so at the next level. Laws is slightly undersized, but he more than makes up for deficiencies with his quickness, instinct, and intense play.
