The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Kenneth Grant, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Kenneth Grant’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Kenneth Grant is one of the most explosive DT prospects over 330 pounds to enter the NFL Draft. He fits into a rare player category with his high-level blend of size, burst, and power. With his size and lower body strength, he demands significant attention from opposing offensive lines on a snap-to-snap basis, particularly in the run game.
His physical profile is ideal for eating blockers, freeing up linemates and the linebackers navigating traffic behind him, and he can also ID blocks and stack-and-shed with his length.
On top of his easily visible run defense utility, Grant also flashes brightly as a pass-rusher, showcasing impressive agility, fluidity, and torquing freedom for his size. He has room to further refine his pass-rush ability, and conditioning will be a constant point of emphasis, but Grant is a unique two-phase talent at nose tackle, who could grow to be a high-end starter within his niche.
Kenneth Grant’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Grant landed in Round 2 with the 42nd overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
A true dancing bear, Kenneth Grant has the pass-rush upside most 6’4″, 331-pounders only dream of, alongside his obvious strength in run defense. The Jets secure his services to add a massive man in the middle whose blend of raw power and agility makes him a key addition to a unit that needs playmakers.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Grant’s selection to the Chicago Bears in Round 2 with the 39th pick:
Grady Jarrett came over from the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, so this is no longer a pressing need, but adding Kenneth Grant, a big, powerfully framed disruptor who stood out in the middle in Ann Arbor, would give the Bears twin towers inside for those cold late season games on the shores of Lake Michigan.
