Player Profile Snapshot
Keldric Faulk is a 20-year-old “bulldozer” who prioritizes displacement over twitch. As a premier run defender, he led the FBS with 62 run-stops since 2023, establishing a floor of pure physical dominance. While his two-sack 2025 season created a polarizing “motor vs. athlete” narrative, he silenced critics in Indianapolis with a 35-inch vertical jump and elite 34 3/8-inch arms. These 88th-percentile traits validate a pass-rush ceiling that the “finish” hasn’t reached yet, proving he has the explosive kinetics to eventually turn those 27 hurries into high-volume sacks.
