Jevon Kearse
Andy Lyons/Allsport
He is somewhat of a tweener much in the mold of a Simeon Rice, but depending on the NFL defense he's in, he will either project as an edge pass rusher or an outside linebacker. He is an outstanding athlete with great overall speed & quickness. He has excellent one-on-one pass rush skills and he can defeat most OTs with his quickness and moves. He shows excellent backside chase and a burst to the quarterback. His only drawback may be his lack of overall bulk. If he has to play DE in a 4 man front, he may run the risk of NFL teams offenses right at him. However, in a "34 look" he could strictly be a backside rush OLB. He has all the skills to be drafted high in the 1st round, but will have to be used properly to get maximum production.
