Profile

Summary:Stanley immediately passes the eye test as he's a stout 6-foot-6 and weighs 312 pounds. His arms are almost 3 feet long, meaning he has a long range.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote Stanley is a "hard worker who plays through the whistle. Flexible and athletic with plus change of direction ability against counter moves. Has quickness off the snap to get to challenging backside blocks on linebackers. Able to pull into space and hit moving targets to spring the big run." 

Stanley was asked about his competitive level at the combine and said he has a passion for the game.

"I think there's a big -- I don't know -- aura of people thinking I'm lackadaisical, I guess," he said. "I don't know, but I'm just really trying to show people how much football means to me and how much I do care about it.

Stacking up: NFL Media analysts Mike Mayock and Bucky Brooks ranked Stanley as their No. 2 prospect at the position behind **Laremy Tunsil**, and Daniel Jeremiah ranked Stanley at No. 10 in his list of the top 50 prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Diverse roots: Stanley was named the 2015 Polynesian College Football Player of the Year in December. Stanley was born to Ron and Juli Stanley, who is of Tongan descent.
