Emmanuel McNeil-Warren

Player Summary

A tall, long-limbed downhill safety from Toledo, supports run def as a box enforcer with physicality, block-slipping ability, urgent triggers via long strides, and an expansive tackle radius—highlighted by 9 career forced fumbles (elite Peanut punch) and 5 interceptions. He anticipates routes adequately from off alignments, closes quickly to deliver strikes over the middle, and fits best in near-LOS roles where he meets runners early and limits big plays. Weaknesses center on diagnostic inefficiencies: excessive bouncing/pre-snap movement, unsettled feet leading to open-field misses, downhill dives that lose containment, and poor footwork that struggles against vertical speed or space coverage—likely limiting him to scheme-protected, 2-down duties rather than versatile deep-third work. A dedicated, high-character worker with ST contributions, McNeil-Warren offers late 1st- to mid-2nd-round value (potential riser to top-20 with testing) as a specialized run-support safety.
