2022 NFLDraft: Scouting report on Seahawks second-round pick Boye Mafe
Mafe’s best attribute is his hand usage. He displays a fantastic hand swipe which he uses once he is within striking range of the blocker and instantly attacks them right after the swipe. He flashes what can be an above average swim move with how quick his hands are getting them over the top of the blocker.
When lined up over the guard he does a good job of striking the guard in the chest to get himself out in front of the tackle and attack their outside shoulder. Despite being lined up inside he still possesses the speed and athleticism to beat the tackle to the outside. Mafe is comfortable in zone coverage as he more often than not is able to get on his toes and keep his eyes in on the quarterbacks. His eyes do not dart from spot to spot. He keeps a good crouch in zone coverage which allows him to come up and break on the football.
Mafe has a fantastic motor as he is able to get involved in plays when they are ran to the opposite side of him as well as well as runs that make it into the second level. When he gets stood up rather than giving up on the play he continues to fight through the block which resulted in multiple effort tackles and sacks. When he cannot disengage he does a good job of trying to get his hands up in the passing lane which with his length will result in multiple batted down passes.
