Summary Dominating player that may be top rated guy on many draft boards.. He is a rarity in the NFL draft, a pure 43 defensive end that has enough size to play the run and also the athletic ability and speed to rush off the corner. He played DT earlier in his career before moving to DE, and he has an excellent combination of all the skills required to be a great player. He uses his hands well, protects his body, and spends very little time on the ground. He is an excellent chase guy, and can get over the garbage to make the play. He plays with excellent leverage vs. the run, is strong at the point of attack, and has excellent quickness for a big guy. As a pass rusher, he has a variety of moves, and can use inside quickness, as well as speed off the edge. He has an excellent motor, and works to make the play. This guy is the real deal, and will likely be the first player drafted after the two QBs.
