Summary He has been a heralded 4-3 type defensive end for a long time, but is not a particularly hot guy in this draft, although he will probably go easily in the 1st round. He is an excellent sack artist, and he is a pure edge DE that has good size, AA, and speed. He does a nice job of protecting his body and keeping blockers off his feet, and he takes excellent angles to the ball on his pass rush. He is not real physical at the POA, and will need a little more strength and bulk to play the run a little better. He is an excellent football player, but not a real flashy guy, but one can not argue with his production.
