Reiger is a classic late-round developmental edge with explosive athletic traits that leap off the testing sheet and flash on film in short bursts. His get-off is legitimate — he wins the timing battle against tackles consistently, and when he bends the corner clean, the quarterback doesn't see him coming. The problem is everything that happens when Plan A doesn't work: his counter-move arsenal is thin, his 251-pound frame gets swallowed by NFL-caliber run blockers, and the tackling technique falls apart in space more often than you'd like. He's a special-teams tone-setter on Day 1 and a situational pass-rush piece who needs a patient 3-4 coaching staff to develop him into a three-down contributor — if that frame can even hold the weight it needs.

• ⚡Explosive first step and get-off that consistently beats tackles to the edge; 1.61 10-yard split validates the film
• 🐍Legitimate bend and corner-turning ability — maintains velocity while dipping his shoulder through the arc
• ⚓Relentless motor that never shuts off; effort-based special teams value from Day 1
• 🏎️Effective inside spin move at pocket depth that generates pressures when the initial speed rush stalls
• ✂️Long arms (6-5 frame) deployed effectively to create separation, swat hands, and prevent blockers from latching

• 🪵Lacks the anchor and mass at 251 pounds to consistently set the edge against the run — gets washed by down blocks and kick-out schemes
• 🚀Limited counter-move repertoire and underdeveloped pass-rush plan; rush tracks are predictable and give experienced tackles a blueprint
• 💥Tackling regression in 2025 with a spiking miss rate; arrives at ball carriers without finishing with authority
• 🦬No reliable speed-to-power conversion — when initial burst doesn't win the rep, he stalls out and gets controlled
