Comment:
Schobel has an excellent combination of athleticism, durability and experience. He aligns as the right end in regular and sub packages. He is smart, instinctive and competitive. He attacks gaps and can be very disruptive on the move. He is a solid technician whose hand usage has continually improved. He takes outstanding pursuit angles, gets over trash easily and has the speed to extend to the perimeter. He has enough functional strength and leverage to hold up against the run. He is an effective tackler in the box. He has very good pass-rushing instincts and anticipation. He has good burst off the edge and the speed to bend the corner and close on quarterbacks. He has active hands and can transfer power to speed. He has an array of pass-rush moves he can put together. He takes good sharp angles off inside games. Schobel is a little undersized and can struggle against some bigger blockers. He neutralizes blocks but isn't an explosive stack-and-shed player.
