TJ Guy
Michigan
Scouting Report

A late bloomer who spent three years developing behind Michigan's conveyor belt of NFL defensive ends before emerging as a productive rotational piece in 2024. Guy's pass-rush efficiency was impressive — elite PFF win rate in limited snaps — but his 2025 campaign as a full-time starter failed to build on that momentum, with production regressing despite more opportunities. He profiles as a high-motor, assignment-sound edge defender who lacks the explosive first step and bend to consistently win as a pass rusher against NFL-caliber tackles. The floor is a special teams contributor and situational rusher; the ceiling is a depth rotational piece in a deep defensive line room, but he'll need to show more at Michigan's Pro Day to generate meaningful draft interest.

Strengths
Weaknesses
Pro ComparisonWyatt Ray (journeyman edge / practice squad type)

High-motor, assignment-sound edge rusher from a strong defensive program who profiles as a special teams and situational pass-rush contributor at the next level. Wins with effort and technique rather than athleticism, similar to late-round and UDFA edges who carve out roster spots through reliability rather than splash plays.
