David Curry - Inside Linebacker Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Scouting Report

Scouting report for NFL Draft prospect David Curry

DAVID CURRY | Georgia Tech | IB | #6 | rSr | 6011 | 230 | Buford, GA | Bufurd HS

Overview: 

Passionate player who serves as the pulse of the defense; team captain. Strong thumper with thick thighs and limited athleticism, but high motor compensates. Fights his way through the trash and demonstrates ability to shed/disengage. Did a nice job sniffing out RPOs and rarely gets fooled. Possesses the intangibles; constantly around the ball, swarms to the football and loves contact. Proved capable in pass coverage. Strong blood lines; his father played professionally for the Atlanta Falcons. Has dealt with various injuries and limited playing time. Was awarded a sixth season of eligibility prior to the start of 2019, due to the 2017 season, which he missed with a foot injury. With his limited athletic profile, Curry will have to make a huge impression on special teams to stick.
