BREAKING: Dante Stills Selected in Sixth Round of 2023 NFL Draft
The Arizona Cardinals have selected former West Virginia defensive lineman Dante Stills in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft (213th overall).
Stills ran a 4.85 40-yard dash (official time) at the NFL Combine with a 10-yard split of 1.72. He also posted a vertical jump of 28.5" and a broad jump of 9'5". As far as his measurements go, he checked in at 6'3 1/2", 286 pounds, a 32 3/8’’ arm, and a hand size of 9 5/8’’.
WVU head coach Neal Brown's analysis:
"Dante's got versatility. You could make an argument that he could fit in a four-down front or a three-down front. And that's where sometimes the d-linemen get pigeonholed because they can only do what is expected out of a four-down or a three-down. He has versatility to do both. He's got video of playing both. He's changed his body. He's even made improvements to his body since January. And I think he's grown in his mental approach. And he's done well when they got him at the board whether it's at the all-star game or in Indianapolis. And he's highly productive. Highly, highly productive at the collegiate level.
"He runs well for his size. The first thing when you think about Dante and when they're looking at him at the next level is his size. He's got measurables. He's got growth potential even. And he's long. Because of how he was used here, you get to see him do a bunch of different things. I think that versatility is really, really benefitting him. He's going to be a plus pass rusher from the interior. If you look at it, the league's trending a little bit more where you're getting more interior pressure. He can run. That's probably his best asset right now."
