I did know that he didnt play his sophomore but 6.5 sacks against college competition last year? I'm sorry but by any standard that is low production.
Chase Young had 10.5 sacks his sophomore season - 16.5 last season
Gross-Matos had 8 sacks his sophomore season - 9.5 last season
A.J. Epenesa had 10.5 sacks his sophomore season - 11.5 last season
heck Taco had 10.5 sacks his last year in college
and if he is so strong against the run then why are the reports with Dallas about using him on passing downs?
Were any of those guys you listed coming off an ACL the year prior?
Context matters.
Looking at sack totals doesn’t tell you that. So last year as a junior (effectively his sophomore season in reality) he was coming off a ligament tear. I know we’d like to think this is like Madden in that after sitting out the specified time for injury you come back 100% but it’s not like that in reality.
His numbers show he was coming on really strong the second half of the season with something like 4.5 sacks and 9.5 TFL against major competition.
