Chiefs Scouting Report: Ole Miss Rebels DE Jared Ivey

Why this matters: The Chiefs need to improve their pass rush to remain competitive. Ivey presents a potential option, but his limitations need to be carefully considered.

Jared Ivey's strengths lie in his power and technique. His ability to use his long strides to generate momentum allows him to threaten offensive tackles. However, his lack of explosiveness and flexibility raise concerns about his ability to consistently beat NFL-level offensive linemen. While he has a decent floor as an edge-setting run defender, his impact as a pass rusher may be limited at the next level. Ivey was ranked 92nd on The Athletic’s annual consensus board, roughly 20 spots below LSU’s Bradyn Swinson and Michigan’s Josaiah Stewart.

How to Prepare: Teams interested in Ivey should focus on developing his initial burst and flexibility to unlock his full potential as a pass rusher.

Who This Affects Most: Teams looking for an immediate-impact pass rusher might need to look elsewhere, while teams willing to develop Ivey's raw skills could find value in the later rounds.

His build, power, and pass rush techniques like club-swims and bull rushes.

Lack of explosiveness off the line and limited flexibility to bend around the corner.
