Game Film Evaluated:
Toledo (2014)
UCF (2014)
Minnesota (2014)

Pros: Impressive speed burst, has impressive burst to close on the QB.  Flashed the ability to knock a tackle off balance with power. He is a speed rusher only who has some impressive burst. He can move down the line effectively and chase down run plays. Has a good motor.

Cons: Does not have any pass rush moves, no counter, no inside move. He cannot hold the LOS nor able to stack and shed a block in the run game. He has trouble changing directions, likely tight hips. Did not show ability to drop his shoulder, keep balance and beat the tackle around the corner.


Summary: Markus Golden is a solid outside pass rusher who can contribute in a rotational role in the NFL, might have to make a position change or be limited to a 3rd down rusher only. I project Golden as a 5th round pick.
