Jalen Farmer

● Boasts an NFL body — broad chest, thick core and long arms ● Strong at the point and flashes a finishing demeanor ● Drives his legs in the run game to generate jarring power at contact ● Functional mobility to wall off defenders and execute pulls ● Stout as a pass blocker to gobble up bull rushers ● Can be caught leaning out front but recovery skills are impressive ● Forceful hands to put dents into defenders when he connects ● Flagged just once in 2025 (holding vs. Eastern Michigan) ● Served as a team captain in four games in 2025 (NFL scout: “Matured and took better care of his body after transferring.”) ● Started all 24 games the past two seasons

● Pops upright too often at the snap, with inconsistent sink ● Can be caught oversetting and crossed up by quickness ● Late with his hands — would like to see him tighten his carriage ● Tardy working through slow-developing pressures and games ● Can do better job refitting in the run game when he doesn’t initially establish leverage ● Inconsistencies redirecting and adjusting in space will be more noticeable vs. NFL athletes ● Position flexibility questions — 100 percent of college snaps came at right guard

A two-year starter at Kentucky, Farmer lined up at right guard in former offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan’s balanced scheme with gap-run principles. He struggled to see the field in two seasons in Gainesville, but he got in better shape after transferring to Lexington and things started to click. He started all 24 games at right guard the past two seasons and impressed during Senior Bowl week. Farmer has outstanding size, play strength and presence. Using his long arms and leg drive, he can fit up and dump defenders in the run game. He has a stout anchor and heavy punch in pass protection and is quick to replace his hands and recover when he’s initially beaten. His pad-level issues pop up more than you’d like, and the nasty flashes need to become more consistent. Overall, Farmer is an athletic boulder in pass protection and a bulldozer as a run blocker. He should continue to ascend with pro coaching. He has NFL starting-caliber ability, especially if he lands with a team that specializes in a downhill, smash-mouth run game.
