SirVocea Dennis stood out in every 2021 Pittsburgh game I watched. Coming into the season as a rotational linebacker, Dennis made big plays and shows game-changing ability. He became a full-time starter in 2022 and was an explosive playmaker on the Panthers defense.

Sir’Vocea Dennis scouting notes
Pros:
- Excellent speed for the position. Very solid athlete overall.
- Fluid hips – might even be able to contribute at safety.
- Has a very strong upper body. Controls his tackle well.
- Not really a brute per say, but does create brutish intensity with his play style.
- Decent tackler. Strong, powerful contact. Has improved his wrap up in 2022.
- Does a good job in pursuit, especially inside of the box.
- Blitz timing is spot on. Accelerates instantly and is effective on a late blitz concept. Works well against both the pass and the run games.
- Good space defender.
- Solid zone coverage ability – can do it both in underneath coverage and deep coverage.
- Does a good job recognizing plays and reacting accordingly.
- Shows excellent instincts consistently. Works the play well and seems to always be in the right position.
Cons:
- I think he tends to attack too high on the ball carrier, but he has big play potential.
