Packers scout Patrick Moore on Kingsley Enagbare

On Enagbare lasting to the fifth round: "Lucky to get him where we got him. Thick, good athlete. Has bend, has burst, has power. Obviously played good competing at South Carolina, so good player for us as an edge."

On Enagbare's pressure percentage and how was he getting home: "He’s a guy that still needs to work on what he does, how he gets there but he can bend and he’s powerful. He’s got a thick lower body. They did a good job of singling him up. Really just a power guy that can straight-arm guys. Senior Bowl a couple of times you saw him run right through the tight end that got drafted earlier. Really, power is his game but he can also bend and get around the corner."

Enagbare on the Packers

Enagbare met the local media via conference call Saturday. Here are some highlights.

On familiarity with the Packers: "My brother-in-law is from up there, Packers fan. So I’ve watched them quite a bit over the last few years." 

On how he fits in: "They already have a good group of guys in Preston Smith and Rashan Gary so going in, learning from them, I feel like complement their game, they complement my game. So I feel like we’ve got a good group of guys." 

On his versatility: "My versatility, I feel like I’m versatile. In college I pretty much played every position along the defensive line. I feel like that prepared me to do that at the next level. I feel like I’m a Swiss Army knife." 

Call Kingsley Enagbare 'J.J'

His preferred nickname of 'J.J.', is for his appreciation for the kid's TV show, "Jay Jay the Jet Plane".

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein’s take on Kingsley Enagbare

"Enagbare is long and strong but lacks explosiveness, which could create diverging opinions regarding his position and how best to play him. He's heavy-handed and physical but will never be confused for a playmaker on the edge. He's best suited as a cubicle defender where his power and length can benefit him in smaller spaces. He has played heavier in the past and teams might ask him to pack the pounds back on in order to compete as a run-defending interior lineman in an odd or even front."
