robgar 1,046 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 What are your guys thoughts on this guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I love the frame for a 3-4 DE. I think he could end up 310 or 320. Hope he gets plenty of snaps this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 With Poe and Howard gone, he'll get plenty of opportunity. Hope he's another Chris Jones and plays right away. Can he add a few pounds before TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I don't think he'll have much impact this year and it's okay This dude is incredibly raw and veteran linemen will shut him down until he learns how to play the position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's making a big jump in competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah unless we get decimated by injuries or he just progresses really quickly I don't see it this year. He's making a big jump in competition. Very much so. He lived a lot of being a freak athlete in a small pond and he will need to learn nearly everything about playing the position. He will also have a transition phase as he moves from edge guy to interior guy. Will have to track the ball carrier better, learn how to use his hands to beat his blocker, not be aggressive to the point he takes himself out of the play completely (the Dee Ford) and while 4% body fat at his size is impressive, he'll need to up that number some. The JPP comparisons are very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMO 6,811 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He is a 5-tech that needs better hand usage and pad level. He has room to add weight and should have no problem doing it since he added 75lbs of muscle during his college years. I think we could be looking at Calais Campbell in a couple of years.

robgar 1,046 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I just hope he lives up to my intentional mispronunciation of his name to start this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil 243 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I got him being something between Calais Campbell and Jevon Kearse which aint bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Physical specimen. Project. Not sure if they see him as an edge rusher or, unbelievably with his height, as a 3-4 OLB. That would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
