FSU DL Braden Fiske 2024 NFL Draft Profile

Braden Fiske, DL, Florida State

Height/Weight: 6-4, 292

Age: 24.4

Strengths

• Double Team Eater: Surprising ability to stack and shed against players and teams with more mass
• Explosive First Step: Impressive get off for a player aligned along the interior
• Fluidity: Can see his hip movement and fluid ankles when asked to be a looper on stunts
• Motor: Constant hand movement and leg drive during his pass rush. Will run down plays from the backside no matter what

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

• Late Bloomer: Took until his sixth year of college before be he really popped
• Light Body: Atypical size for an interior defensive lineman

Evaluation:

Fiske is an intriguing prospect given intangibles of high character and relentless motor along with tangible traits like an explosive first step and fluid movement patterns that make him a handful for opposing lineman. Despite being a late bloomer and a tad light for the position, Fiske projects as a late round one, or early round two pick.
