Yeah, he was one of my DE's in a pet cat thread a few months back. Tons of potential for a guy who just started playing football. Closing speed, change of direction, and his ability to start/stop/start really stand out. Surprised he never made it to any of the all star games.

His Pro Day isn't until very late though -- April 27. I'd be surprised if he gets drafted, but he'd be a high priority free agent for me. He looks like he'll have an excellent 3-cone and 40 (official) time.

he has great knack for the ball, good sideline to sideline speed, he might get drafted in the later rds

He has that Wow speed/quickness that is in short supply with the DEs in this draft.

He actually had decent skills and awareness for a guy that didn't start playing football until 2012.

The forty time appears to be unofficial.

The results, some of which you can see on this very article, speaks for itself. Ndiaye, who was timed as low as 4.37 in the 40 yard dash over the summer by the school’s track coach, displays elite explosion at the snap, has excellent speed in pursuit of the ballcarrier, and has an advanced understanding of how to use his hands to shed blockers.

Surprising strength at POA, considering he is more of a drag down tackler rather than a thumper. His speed makes everyone look like they are moving in quicksand. As long as we use one of the many 7th rounders, this kid would be a great pick up in Marinelli's system. I just don't want Jerry to go Kavika Pittman on him.

Pittman was kind of Barbie Carpenter-ish in that he had some talent but did't like physical play. I think he's the buy that was reported to say that he was quitting football after Larry Allen popped him in training camp.
