Neild is a run-stopping defensive tackle who could contribute in a defensive line rotation at the next level. He is stout with a strong lower half and is very difficult to move out of running lanes. He also has very active hands to keep blockers from getting inside and flashes the lateral range to make plays outside of the tackle box. However, he lacks explosion off the line and is very raw as a pass rusher. Neild possesses natural leverage and is an asset against the run and he will likely be a middle round pick.

They rave about this guy in the Mountain state. My wife is from Inwood, WV and my brother-in-law lives in Martinsburg and sometimes get tickets to Mountaineers games. Had the privledge of watching him play on more than one ocasion. Didn't expect him to be drafted in the first three rounds but, didn't expect him to drop as far as he did either.
