Victor Abiamiri Scouting Report

Victor Abiamiri was a high touted recruit out of high school and selected Notre Dame over numerous other schools. He played against top level competition while at Notre Dame and earned a starting position at defensive end for his final two seasons. Abiamiri is a very gifted athlete with a good combination of size and strength. He displays very solid footwork for his size, which enables him to occasionally drop into pass coverage. Abiamiri has long arms to assist in gaining separation while engaged with an offensive tackle. He is very quick off the snap and can often beat his opponent to the outside with sheer quickness. Abiamiri is an extremely productive pass rusher and can accelerate quickly in pursuit of the quarterback. He recorded 18.5 sacks over the last two seasons. Abiamiri could stand to bulk up a bit if he is going to be productive at defensive end in the NFL. He is a potential candidate to move to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Abiamiri could also benefit from working on his technique and adding some additional moves to his pass rushing arsenal. He has enough skills and athleticism to produce at the next level and should easily be a first day selection. Abiamiri is likely to be an early-to-mid second round pick come draft day.
