Our best defensive player since Ware.
His acceleration to the QB is just so impressive. The pass rush move was great but once he beat his man he was like a missile coming for the QB. A lot to be excited about with this young man. He isn't just your typical off the ball LBer which is why no one had a problem with him being a top pick. In hindsight he probably should have been an even higher draft pick.

If he had played his junior year he would have gone higher, just like Chase and probably Slater.

I didnt realize it was his junior year that he sat out. Fuck... that helped us a ton.
Yea and he was relatively raw considering he was a DE in high school and just moved to playing more traditional LB at Penn St., so he basically had just 2 years at the position.

He was good as a freshman, dominant as a sophomore (would've been the Big 10 DPoY if not for Chase Young), and if he had backed that up with a similarly dominant junior season he would've probably went in the 5-8 range.

we're getting basically his senior season, and he's tearing shit up at this level. Give him another off-season.
