Funny to see all the star chasers crying about it. The kid is just a ball player, a dog. He's not the first off the bus, but he after 4 years, other fans will hate him. You can tell he has been coached up, he understands leverage much better than most HS kids. But he should since his dad is an NFL DL coach.

Nice! I wonder if he gets less love on his rankings because he's undersized.

Love this one, great tape. And he's playing in a competitive league. The pedigree of having a dad who played nearly a dozen years in the league and has been an NFL position coach for a long time is a onus. Size is way overblown for edge rushers. Being 6'4" doesn't hurt, but Nick Reed, Darryl Tapp, Dwight Freeney, and others I'm sure I'm missing have shown that you can be successful at around 6 feet.

Nick Reed is who I keep thinking about, along with Michael Clay. 'Enough' of the physical talent, but tons of football skill to spare.

Not bad comparison. But when I watch his highlights, I see Daryl Tapp. I know he's coming in as a OLB, but he's already 235, and his dad played at 302. A couple years with Feld, and he will be 260ish.
