I think where his lateral agility stands out is in a way that doesn't necessarily translate to his position. Turning and running (i.e. a 3-cone drill) isn't something he's going to be asked to do often. Instead, I think you want to see flexibility - someone that can maintain drive with his body turned. And I think that's actually an area where he struggles a fair amount. I don't see a guy who can get rocked, re-set and hold his ground in a rep. I don't see a guy likely to throw up a double move, get a OT on his heels and then swim inside him. He has to turn his body to get going in the direction he's trying to go. There's just some baseline flexibility issues I see that probably diminish his ceiling. |

I'm no scout, but watching some of his highlights makes me think about Maxx Crosby. That's who he reminds me of anyway.

After watching some highlight reels a few things are obvious:
This kid possesses excellent footwork in all aspects, whether he's setting the edge or evading a cut block or beating his blocker to the POA. He has really good hands and seems to regularly beat his blockers to the punch. He has excellent vision. He locates the ball and attacks it at a high level. He plays with a violence that rivals Melvin Ingram. Something this DL sorely needs, especially if we don't re-sign Ingram. Right now he might be the best DE on the team. He might be the best DL, period. |

I see some Maxx Crosby, btw I like this pick and didn't think he'd be there at 30.
