Toohill

Although old for a prospect (24 in August), Toohill (6'4/250) Toohill enticed with a breakout senior season and strong Combine. He registered 11.5 TFL and eight sacks as a first-year starter in 2019. Toohill struggled with injuries his first three years with the Cardinal but drew attention for his academic work. Toohill is a bit of a ‘tweener but has just enough projectable traits to get some time to develop on the practice squad.

Toohill (6'4/250) posted some good athletic testing numbers at the NFL Scouting Combine, as he ran the 40 in 4.62 seconds and recorded a 39-inch vertical. But the question of where he’ll play at the next level can be a tricky one, as the former Stanford linebacker is considered to be a bit of a “tweener” right now. “If he can become bigger, stronger and more polished as a rusher, he might make sense as a backup edge with sub-package talent as a wide-9 technique,” Zierlein wrote in his analysis. Toohill projects to be a Day 3 selection in next month’s draft.
