2027 NFL DRAFT BIBLE EDGE RUSHERS

It projects to be an electrifying edge rusher crop. Explosive edge force Dylan Stewart is the most dominant player that Columbia has seen since Jadeveon Clowney, as the South Carolina product should compete to be the first non-quarterback player off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Blessed with prototype size, a chiseled frame, along with violent hands and overwhelming strength, Stewart is able to convert speed-to-power at a high level. We have seen very few players take the SEC by storm the way Colin Simmons of Texas has during his first two seasons. He possesses elite bend and twitch on the outside, showcasing a great pass-rush arsenal and plenty of athleticism, which translates into a bonafide cornerstone-type prospect.

One prospect looking to build momentum off his strong 2025 campaign is Ohio State defensive end Kenyatta Jackson, who combines size and strength, which makes him a stout pass-rusher, in addition to being able to set the edge against the run. Oregon defender Matayo Uiagalelei has compiled numerous sacks due to his relentless effort and non-stop pursuit. A limited athlete, there is something to be said for his unshakable presence.
