Technique: Dorsey was a one-gap defender while at LSU who relied more on his quickness than raw strength to penetrate the line.


Known Injuries: Dorsey missed several practices in 2007 with a sprained knee. He also battled a bad back and bum hamstring at various points in the year.


Combine / Workout Assessment: COMING SOON

Analysis: : Dorsey is the clear-cut No.1 defensive tackle in this year’s draft class and will certainly one of the first two defensive linemen off the board. After his senior year he owns more hardware than Bob Vila, as he was the 2007 winner of the Lombardi, Lott, Nagurski and Outland awards. He also earned points in the eyes of scouts by playing through his sprained knee, although his effectiveness was limited because of the injury. His quickness and ability to consistently disrupt offenses means that he can fit in both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes at the next level, and his resume suggests he will be able to start as a rookie.
