Sealing the Edge
#3 Vs the Right Tackle

Marlon does a fantastic job against the running game by sealing the edge of LOS. Forcing the RB/ball carrier inside to the trenches and not out in space. #NFL #NFLDraft #KroenickFilm

Goal line situations
Vs LT,FB

Davidson takes a big blow from the FB so easily it’s hard to see but he barely moves and stops the LG in his tracks. Notice the RB run into the LGs back.

Great power, recovery, and strength on goaline. #NFL #NFLDraft #KroenickFilm

Marlon has great instincts, notices the line doesn’t block him. Instead of going up field he stays hole and sees the QB, runs through the RBs block and nearly gets to the QB. Showing his range, Instincts, and awareness. #NFLDraft #NFL #KroenickFilm

VS LT

Another example of Marlons ability to get upfield and sealing the edge in the run game. In this instance, he uses his hands as clubs and throws the LTs hands away. Nearly getting the QB, so close but yet so far. Potential to be a good pass rusher in the #NFL #NFLDraft

Vs RT

At times Marlon doesn’t use his hands OR is possibly coached/directed to just stand the blocker up. Either way on this play his hands don’t move making him an easy defender to move.

-High out of stance
-Explosion?

#NFL #NFLDraft

Vs LT

Notice how well Davidson’s hands work when they’re utilized. Gets inside and upfield with good hands and a corner blitz. QB couldn’t step up into the pocket and couldn’t escape outside. Well executed blitz, Herbert got it out fast. #NFLDraft #NFL

Vs LT

Hands and Strength on full display. He just misses out on getting the sack but a great try nonetheless. He’s a fighter and a worker.

Vs LT

Marlon has a knack for the inside with his pass rush capabilities.

Notice the step with his right foot, he commits the LT to the outside, then uses a rip move upfield. Unfortunately it’s a quick throw but you see his potential. #NFLDraft #NFL

Vs LT

Awareness of the play is outstanding. Stays home and uses the blockers blindness to throw him in the wrong direction before tackling the QB. Smart play, contains the QB but also stops the QB going inside. #NFLDraft #NFL

Strength vs TE

Great rep here on a run play of reading the play, showing off his strength by pushing the TE all the way down the LOS, and tackling the Rb for a small gain. He SHOULD be doing that to a TE, good sign.

•Strong
•Awareness

#NFLDraft #NFL

Athletic play vs RT

Stays balanced after a chip block and forces burrow to abandon the throw by running up into the pocket. Is able to take Burrow down for a minimal gain. #NFLDraft #NFL

Strength vs Double team LG/LT

Need I say more? Even tho there 2 people blocking him Marlon is still able to seal the edge of the LOS. Stays low and fires a punch out of his stance slowing the LT and gaining control. #NFLDraft #NFL

Rep vs Thad Moss

As he should be, Marlon puts Moss on his back but Moss essentially does his job of taking Marlon out of the play.

•Strength
•Physical

Pass rush vs LT

Violent hands get Marlon within inches of Burrow but this is where the elite speed comes into play. Potential to be a good pass rusher at the next level. Bad feet by LT. #NFL #NFLDraft

Strength vs LT

Dominates out of the gun by grabbing control of the LT standing him up and away from his body. Thrn ditches the LT and wraps up the RB. Spider web. #NFL #NFLDraft

Red zone vs TE/LT

Physical hands let him break free when blockers are trying to force him in a direction. Hard to see but he’s able to get outside and help slow the RB but ends being a TD anyway. #NFL #nfldraft

Film Grade 6.8/10

Could start year 1 but needs some technical adjustments. Has all the tools and awareness is an asset. #KroenickFilm #NFL #NFLDraft

Marlon Davidson is a Senior who could have came out in the 2018 draft, but decided to come back and get his degree. Fulfilling a promise to his late mother 🙏🏼.

I’m rooting for him! #NFL #NFLDraft
