by Clint Clearwater
NFL Draft Analyst


Prospect: Scott McKillop, ILB, Pittsburgh
Ht: 6’1 Wt: 244 40: 4.79

Strengths: Great leader.  He was the cornerstone of the Pittburgh's defense.  He has a nose for the football.  He is a great tackler; led the team for the last two years.  He has a great motor and rarely gives up and is almost always is in the right place at the right time. He has decent quickness, moves well in space.  Good strength, he benched 225 lbs, 27 times at the Combine.   

Weaknesses: Occasionally runs too upright.  Although relatively quick, does not possess good overall speed.  Not ideal size.  Lacks dominate athleticism. 

Summary: Although McKillop lacks the desired size for NFL linebacker, he plays much better than his size shows.  He has a great motor and is a hard worker.  McKillop is a tremendous playmaker that makes clutch plays that can turn a game around.  He is a great leader on the field as well as off the field, and that will be something that NFL teams will fall in love with.
