Summary

Drafted: Round 4, 105th overall (2024) by the Los Angeles Chargers. College: Alabama. Key college notes: steady progression at Alabama with a breakout 2023 season (led team in pressures, 7.0 sacks in 2023; First-team All-SEC). Entered the NFL as a 6'5", ~292 lb defensive end with good interior/edge versatility and a comeback story after a 2022 neck injury. Character: praised for toughness and work ethic while returning from injury and finishing his college career strongly. Alabama Athletics

Strengths

• Size + length for a 4-tech/edge — 6'5" frame and functional length that helps him control gaps and extend to the QB.

• Explosive interior burst — Quick first step and ability to create pressure on early reps; flashed strong interior push in 2023. NFL Draft Buzz

• Versatility across the DL — Can slide inside on early downs or play the edge in sub-packages; tape shows ability to play multiple alignments. NFL Draft Buzz

• Production spike in final year — Increased playing snaps and pressure totals in 2023 (notable jump in sacks/stops), showing development and pass-rush potential. Sports Reference

• Professional makeup / resilience — Returned from a serious 2022 neck injury to play at a high level in 2023; coaches cite his work ethic in rehab and preparation. Alabama Athletics

Weaknesses

• Injury history / medical red flags — Season-ending neck injury in 2022 is a clear durability consideration going forward; needs monitoring at the pro level.

• Needs more counter moves — Relies heavily on burst and bull-rush; will need development of counters and hand-technique versus NFL tackle play. NFL Draft Buzz

• Consistency of run-defense motor/technique — There are reps where he is washed or takes poor angles—can be improved against zone/power schemes. NFL Draft Buzz

• Proven ceiling vs. sustained output — While 2023 was a strong year, earlier seasons were quieter; projection depends on coaching and play-time continuity. Sports Reference

Fit & Outlook

Eboigbe projects as a multi-role defensive lineman for a front that values athletic interior penetration and scheme flexibility. Best fit: teams that will rotate him between 3-tech and 5-tech spots, use him on stunts, and let him develop a fuller pass-rush toolkit. If he stays healthy and continues the 2023 development curve, he can grow into a reliable 8–12 snap per game interior pass-rush threat who can slide into down-line snaps. His floor is a quality rotational D-lineman; his ceiling is a regular starter with double-digit pressures and consistent QB disruption. NFL Draft Buzz
