Manny Lawson is undersized for a defensive end or a an outside linebacker. He really needs to build his core strength up if he wishes to keep his position in the NFL He has some trouble defending the run and gets engulfed by massive offensive tackles. Manny needs to continue to work on his techniques as he doesn’t always play with good leverage. Manny Lawson needs to make better use of his hands. Scouts feel he relies on his speed game too heavily and needs to develop further. Manny will not be a good fit on every team and will need to be in the right system to succeed.

Manny Lawson competed as a hurdler, long jumper, triple jumper and relay runner for the Wolfpack track team. The prevalence of the 3-4 defenses in the NFL will likely help Lawson's case as he would seem to be a prototypical OLB is that scheme. Expect Manny to be drafted in the middle of the second round. If he goes earlier it will be to a team that feels they need his athleticism.
