Have him in my small school/ sleeper thread, I would love it if we drafted this guy in the middle rounds for sure.
This guy is the perfect fit for the "Wide 9". Lined up wide sometimes in college, quick to close his gap and played it very well IMO. Not bad of a rusher himself, above average imo. Not surprised if he ends up a Niner or a team with a similar defense.

He has a ton of tools, but first word that came to mind when watching him was "wild.". Even in his highlights, he just looks wildly out of control, but he is definitely athlete that you hope to mold into football player

He's definitely the kind of player Lynch and Co. like to take fliers on late.
I think he slides inside the top 100 picks. Flying a bit under the radar, but super athletic.
Seems like a mid/late round sleeper.

Yup
Want.
Short arms are a concern for an edge although to be fair, Nick Bosa doesn't have great length either.

The guy I think people are really sleeping on is Christian Miller out of Alabama who is just as athletic if not more so at 6'3 247 but has ideal length for an edge (35 1/8"). He was a 5 star prospect coming out of high school but has injury concerns which could cause him to fall to the third round.

Yeah he's got even shorter arms than Bosa....I like Miller a lot but he just can't stay healthy, like not at all.

I liked this kid during the draft process

Seems like a "gamer". Never elite but will probably have a long career.
