U. Cal-Davis's Profile for John Faletoese

John is a graduate of Jesuit High School in Carmichael CA. He was a three-year starter and was named Delta League Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. John also was named to the Sacramento Bee All-Metro first team and All-Northern California second team. He also claimed All-Delta League and All-Metro second-team honors as a junior.

He made an immediate impact as a RS freshman at UC-Davis where he was named First Team All-Great West Conference during that year (2005) and his sophomore season (2006.) John suffered through an injury-plagued 2007, but still was a leader in TFLs and QBHs.

LATE NOTE: Worked out at SJSU for his Pro Day and weighed in shorter (6'2") and lighter (286 lbs.) than he had been listed. Also ran slower (5.07 40,)than many people thought he mights with a 4.44 short shuttle and a 7.60 3-cone.

Very quick feet for a man his size. Can set up a pass defender, and blow by him with a quick counter or spin move. Great lateral quickness. Plays like a 260-pounder as far as his movement skills are concerned. Has been productive throughout his college career. Great motor. Comparable to Levi Esene who starred for San Diego State in the late 80s.

Not able to disengage from the double team or from large OGs. Plays like a big man against smaller competitors, but loses his special qualities against quality O-linemen.

6-7th round.
