It's amazing watching this guy because you can tell he's nowhere near an elite athlete like what you see out of most top edge rushers. There were a few times where he was in space 1-on-1 with Herbert keeping it on RPO-type action and his change of direction/quickness was nowhere to be found, the guy had a 0% chance of making a play on Herbert in space.
What's amazing is that despite that he times the snap so well that at least a few times a game he's 1/2 a yard across the LOS while some of his teammates are still in their stance, or the OT is just barely out of his stance.
Combine that with his hand usage/array of pass rush moves/motor/work ethic and there's almost no chance the guy isn't at least a good rotational pass rusher. I'm not sure whether or not he can be a future starter with a lack of top-level explosiveness/athleticism, but the guy surely will be a valuable rotational player who could potentially be groomed into a starter.
