Jaylon is only using his arm strength to try and push it. Watch the second video. Everyone else uses leverage from their feet and their entire body to relatively easily push it back. I'm not a Jaylon fan but I actually feel bad for him here. Its an obvious weakness where he can't plant and push off his feet

Its the leg man. Look he did as best as he could with nerve damage. He just cant generate the power off that foot its noticible in the videos

Which is why I don't see how anyone can say he can become a pass rusher. Jaylon is fine being a surprise blitzer and maybe catching the oline unawares...but he can't continuously rush. Any olineman would easily deal with him doing a bull rush because he can't generate power, and his lateral movement is too slow to get past most tackles. I just don't see a way he can help this defense get better
