Pro Comparison: Sam Hubbard
Summary
J.T. Tuimoloau is a limited athlete with below-average change of direction. He has a few pass-rush moves, but lacks the waist bend to threaten at the high side of his rush. Tuimoloau has great size that allows him to be a net-positive in the run game and shows good instincts to get his hands in pass lanes when his rush does not get home.

Colts' JT Tuimoloau: Colts add standout Round 2 DE
The Colts selected Tuimoloau in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 45th overall.
Tuimoloau (6-foot-4, 265 pounds) is a prototypical three-down defensive end who should prove a viable starter in the NFL. For now, the Ohio State product will likely fill a rotational role, because Kwity Paye and Laiatu Latu will be tough to displace from the starting lineup anytime soon. If Tuimoloau has to play in a DE3 role for the Colts, then he'll likely prove overqualified after torching his way to 21.5 tackles for loss, including 12.5 sacks, last year.
