Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Danny Striggow
Summary

Max Llewellyn is a high-effort, versatile defensive end who became a key fixture on the Iowa defense. Known for his aggressive play style and technical hand usage, he consistently finds ways to reach the quarterback. While he may not be the most explosive athlete, his effort and ability to stop the run make him a reliable, blue-collar prospect.

About
  • 2025: 26 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 6.5 sacks
  • Career: 64 tackles, 20.5 TFL, 14.5 sacks (43 games, 13 starts)
Strengths
  • Earned the team’s “Hustle Award” twice, reflecting consistent effort.
  • Diverse pass-rush plan that includes spin and swim moves.
  • Technically sound hand usage to disengage from offensive tackles.
Weaknesses
  • Below-average bend and athleticism compared to top speed rushers.
  • Needs to improve wrap-up tackling consistency at the point of attack.
  • Half of his 2025 sack production came against lower-level opponents.
Combine Data
  • 40-yard dash: 4.81 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 32.5 inches
  • Broad jump: 9 feet, 7 inches

  • Dolphins' Max Llewellyn: Drawn in by Dolphins

    Rotowire

    The Dolphins selected Llewellyn in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 238th overall.

    Llewellyn didn't start at Iowa until his fifth season, but he made up for lost time by stacking up 26 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and six pass breakups through 13 games. His limited experience is concerning for a player who will be 24 years old to start the season, and he still has work to do as a run defender. Llewellyn projects as a depth player on Miami's edge.
