Bryan Broaddus report on thefan

[Denim Chicken]

But he didn't set the world on fire in college either. He looks three part, but he doesn't play the part.

He had the third highest college production in his last two years of all DEs in the draft.

Production Ratio shows the number of sacks and tackles for loss per game over a player's last two college seasons. A number above 1.5 is often indicative of premier production for a pass rusher. Production ratios marked in yellow indicate a player is from a small school, and that his high production ratio is at least in part the result of playing against inferior competition.

Interview with his coach at MI.

JM: What kind of pro projection do you see for Taco’s career if he ultimately reaches his potential?
GM: Oh, the sky’s the limit. The sky’s the limit and there’s a lot of reasons why, but probably one of the biggest reasons is that he’s got such great character. He’s such a great person and he comes from a great family. When you have all that, and you have the athleticism and the God-given height and arm length that Taco has, all of those things gives you a great opportunity to be very successful at the next level. I really believe that Taco will be very, very successful.

JM: Where do you think he needs to improve the most?
GM: I would think that he needs to continue to get stronger. He’s playing in a big man’s league now. He probably needs to continue to get stronger and I think the thing that they’ll do with him in Dallas, they’ll really work hard on more specifics in pass rush. They have a lot more time now than we do in college where you can spend a great deal of time on pass rush techniques. Taco’s a very intelligent person, so he’ll learn everything that they throw at him and he’ll take the next step that way.

Good info, thanks for sharing Denim.

but he's slow and makes very few impactful plays.

Lol, where do you get this stuff? 70% percentile on all the speed stats that matter for a DE & showed above that he had one of the best production ratios in his last two years of college. Plus he got better every year.

He also improved his 40 to 4.7 range during his pro day.

I dunno. I'm pretty sure Broaddus would eat his hand if it wasn't attached to his wrist.

That kinda stands to reason, I mean if he ate his foot ,that would impede his mobility greatly : hand<foot
I thought we've beat this discussion into the ground over on the self cannibalism thread,,,No?

He had nothing to do with it at all? Maybe we should let Bryan know then? From http://sportdfw.com/2012/08/08/a-sit-down-with-bryan-broaddus-exclusive-sportdfw-interview/:

Let's say that I don't buy it for a minute knowing the history of Wolf and his scouting of Favre.

Or ever sniffed anywhere near a position with an NFL franchise.
