Joshua Josephs emerged as Tennessee's premier pass rusher over his three-year career, transforming from a rotational contributor as a sophomore to an elite edge presence by his junior and senior seasons. A former three-star recruit who developed his craft through relentless technique refinement, Josephs possesses an NFL-ready combination of bend, hand usage, and motor that translates well to the next level. His stock has steadily risen throughout the draft process, with many evaluators viewing him as a potential steal in the middle rounds due to his consistent production and advanced pass rush repertoire. While concerns about his overall athleticism and run defense remain, Josephs projects as a quality starter who can immediately contribute in sub-packages before developing into a three-down player.
