Final Report
Crawford is a standup rush 'backer with athletic tools and an evolving overall game. His twitch and lateral agility is evident as soon as you turn on the tape. His quick first step forces offensive tackles to overset, where he shows a strong inside counter to cross their face. There were times in 2025 where he's attempting a cross chop or two handed swipe to keep blockers off of him. The latter is where he can find himself in trouble as he lacks length. Crawford is extremely raw in the run game setting the edge and making stops. Considering he didn't start playing football until his senior year of high school, he's on a promising upward trajectory. A 3-4 defense looking for a stand up outside linebacker to rotate in on third downs and develop over time will covet his skill set.
