Getting after the QB:
Nik Bonitto (@nikkkkbonitto) has a dangerous speed dip rush. He'll use it off the edge or back inside as a counter. Uses the rip to finish at times! #passrush #sooners #nfldraft pic.twitter.com/zGaA69FpIX

Oklahoma OLB Nik Bonitto uses his quickness to beat the LT inside and help force an INT #NFLDraft #Sooners pic.twitter.com/aT19BDs1ih
— Brian Johannes (@Draft_Brian) July 14, 2021
Oklahoma's Nik Bonitto (@nikkkkbonitto) is going to be an elite 3-4 OLB at the next level. His overall feel in coverage is great, and he is a fluid mover. Can get after the QB with ease too. Talent to lead the nation in sacks next season and be a high 1st round pick. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/F5DKbm41aO
— Jack Borowsky (@Jack_Borowsky) March 12, 2021
Oklahoma's Nik Bonitto is an extremely underrated athlete! He has a tremendous get off at the snap and his ability to bend around the edge is exactly what you look for in a premiere edge rusher! Really excited to see him blow up the combine!

Setting the Edge, Defending the Run.
Lot of questions surrounding Nik Bonitto's skillset heading into Combine week and the NFL Draft.
— Kegan Reneau (@KeganReneau) March 1, 2022
One of the questions he faces is how he sets the edge. Didn't get a ton of opportunities to do it in this scheme, but this is a pretty good example of what it may look like: pic.twitter.com/l6Yh2GoDBi
Nik Bonitto is so explosive off the line and fluid. #NFLDraft

Known for pass rushing but can make an impact vs the run with instincts and athleticism. pic.twitter.com/h0U2EH7iLQ
Going to get a lot of Nik Bonitto in this one.

1) Watch where he comes from on the first clip to help make this play.
2) The pass rush move on the right tackle in clip two. Left him in the dust. pic.twitter.com/jlQn2d8mFZ
