Player Summary
Faulk turns 21 during his rookie season, features a long, projectable frame with room to reach 300+ pounds and high-character leadership that boosts his grade. Versatile for odd or even fronts, he aligns anywhere from edge to interior on passing downs, where quickness and long levers overmatch guards. A fluid athlete with diverse rush moves, efficient sudden hands, and strong pursuit, he stalks scrambling QBs effectively. As a run defender, he dominates with elite grades (89.2, 86th percentile solo stops), low missed tackles (88th percentile), and the strength/length to control, shed, or penetrate gaps while chasing stretch plays. Limitations include average upfield burst, playing tall, inconsistent violent hands/assertiveness at the point, and overruns that delay working back to the QB—reflected in uneven sack production (7+ in 2024, just a couple in 2025) and an underdeveloped pass-rush plan.
