They could target pass rushers, linebackers, tight ends, offensive linemen, or skill players pretty much anywhere. One name standing out is Miami Hurricanes, defensive linemen at Keem Masidor, a six foot three, 259 pound edge rusher was strong. Production. Masidor transferred from West Virginia to Miami and racked up 35 and a half career sex over six seasons. In 2025, he played 15 games with 12 and a half sex, 17 and a half tackles for loss, four four spumbles, and 63 total tackles. He learned from top coaches like Jason Taylor and Charlie Strong. Fans and scouts love his versatility. He wins with speed or power, reads past protection well, sets of counters based on offensive linemen stance, and chases plays from the back side with elite effort.

He's a bit undersized with shorter arms, and he can get over aggressive against the run, leaving him open to blocks. Overall, Masidor earns a V grade with a player comp to Kansas City Chiefs in George Carlaptus. The Patriots should hope he falls to them as his tools could boost their past rush without needing perfect size.
