2024 3rd Round Pick - Marist Liufau, LB, Notre Dame

[Simpleton]

I have mentioned it before, but I have a feeling people are assuming he will be an all-around LB.

From the looks of things, he will be used as a rusher a lot. Zimmer is tipping his hand a little.

"Number one, he's brilliant. He catches on really quick. He wants to be so good and so intense that he's almost too much at it right now. The other thing is I think he's a really good pressure player and I think having that with (Micah) Parsons and another pressure player that is a linebacker or he can move somewhere else and Parsons can move somewhere else. I think those pieces add to confusion for the offense, plus he's a really good rusher. "

He looks like a really good blitzer but he's definitely not going to be an edge rusher. He'll "rush" the same way Eric Kendricks did in Minnesota, from traditional off-ball LB alignments and in space.

Is there some good evidence of this out there, @Simpleton

The game I saw he was average to the point I didn't want to waste any more of my time on him

And Taco Mazi “looked” like a really good anchor in the middle of the defense.

That was in college before he lost 40 lbs.

This was months ago but I think I watched him against USC, Duke, OSU and maybe Louisville. I can't remember which games were impressive and which weren't though.

thought you posted your impressions.

I don't remember posting an indepth breakdown, which probably explains a lot if I watched 3-4 cutups and just kinda said "he looks good as a blitzer".
