Will McDonald IV DE/EDGE Iowa State | NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report
Overall Rank: #47 Position Rank: #12 (DL)
40 time: 4.61 seconds
Height: 6-3 Weight: 236
Hands: 9 1/2 Arms: 34 5/8 Span: 83
Date of Birth: 06/04/1999 Age: 23.4
Scouting Report: Strengths
McDonald has a high motor and does a solid job setting the edge against the run.
He has a lethal spin move and the pure speed to close quickly.
Crazy athletic skills -- Made Bruce Feldman's 'Freaks List' at number 5. He wrote: “He’s an elite athlete who can do backflips standing still and has videos jumping over cars. All of that along with sacking the QB,” Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said of the 6-3, 236-pound edge rusher. Campbell expects McDonald will vertical-jump 42 or 43 inches when he goes to the combine and should broad jump around 11 feet."
He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
He’s very good with his hands, a technician with the violence, quickness, and the long arms to ward off blockers. He has a great motor and enough creativity to make plays late in the down as a pass rusher.
Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.

Will McDonald IV NFL Draft Profile -- Length, spin moves, and motor
McDonald possesses an intriguing frame as an NFL Draft prospect. He has incredible length, which helps him in several ways. The Iowa State DE routinely uses this length to make disruptive plays.
There were several examples in the games studied of him getting his long arm on the ball, forcing a fumble. \
Furthermore, he uses his length at the point of attack with a long arm move to keep offensive linemen at bay.
Additionally, he can drop back and disrupt passing lanes with his long arms.
