VMAC Pre-Draft Visitor Profile: DT Kristjan Sokoli, Buffalo

*All numbers courtesy of Zach Whitman and 3SigmaAthlete*

Kristjan Sokoli is a nose tackle from Buffalo (Kahlil Mack's school) of Albanian descent.  Currently, Sokoli has the 2^nd highest SPARQ score of any player in Zach Whitman's database of 2015 players that were not invited to the Combine.  In fact, Sokoli is a top 10 SPARQ player of any player in any position in this year's Draft (behind only Vic Beasley, Davis Tull, Chris Conley, Byron Jones and a WR/KR from Maine named Damarr Aultman).

Sokoli is 24 years old, is 6044 (six foot four and half inch), 290 lbs, with 34 inch arms and 10 3/8 inch hands.  His wingspan is 79.5.  He ran a 4.84 forty with a 7.19 cone drill, 31 bench press reps, and a 38 inch vertical.  His Broad Jump was 9 foot 11 inches.  (pSparq is 142.1, z-score (Standard deviation above the NFL average for his position is a whopping 2.2))

I have not spent time researching if Sokoli is a good player, but he is a late round type interior Defensive Lineman with high SPARQ numbers and length, the type of player I could see Seattle taking a shot at -- perhaps in Round 6.
