Henry To’oTo’o Scouting Report
Per NFL Draft Buzz, To’oTo’o has the following strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths
- Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch
- Ferocious against the run and decent good in coverage is extremely versatile
- Combines very good instincts with above-average reaction skills
- Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape
Weaknesses
- Undersized for the middle linebacker position – can be out muscled
- Instincts are suspect – often bites on fakes and takes a while to diagnose plays
- Not a great pass rusher – can be easily handled by offensive tackles

Henry To’oTo’o in Mock Drafts
According to NFL Mock Draft Database, To’oTo’o is a projected second round pick. However, because of the Alabama pedigree, many drafts have him in the first round. The biggest concern is how undersized he is. We’ve seen it before where undersized linebackers struggle in the NFL. Despite that, he has desirable skills that any team would be able to use on the field. Below is a list of mock drafts and where they have To’oTo’o being taken.
- Sports Illustrated – No. 17 overall: Lions
- Walter Football – No. 29 overall: Bills
Would Henry To’oTo’o Fit on the Packers?
I do not see To’oTo’o as a great fit for the Packers. The Packers defense has the linebacker position set for the most part. While they could always build depth, To’oTo’o’s skills do not complement the system that they run. The undersized aspect also concerns me. The Packers defense already gets bowled over at times. They need an enforcer not another person that will get shoved around easily.
Check Out Another Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
It wouldn’t be complete malpractice if To’oTo’o was picked by the Packers. Alabama players have been good in the NFL. However, the skill sets just don’t match up. This isn’t a knock on To’oTo’o necessarily. Some players don’t fit in certain systems.
