Kneeland's preseason grades among all rookie defensive ends

If he can develop into a 6 to 8 sack a year player down the road it will be a nice pick. Already plays the run well. High effort player.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

If he can play the run well and not keep getting sucked in and lose containment by mobile QBs like some we know, that is already a plus in my book. Stop the dammm run and contain the passers.

 

[Kingofholland]

Off to a good start, really plays the run well. Perhaps the LE replacement for Lawrence.

I’m excited about hearing how people thinks he sucks because he doesn’t get double digit sacks. Before him it was D Law…before him Anthony Spencer.

Looks good thus far,

Marshawn Kneeland already stands out as a productive member of this defense.

Of course, it's admittedly early yet but right now, he's really looking like a winner.

IF he can do a 6-8 sack career and play the run well not only is he a very good part of the D he is someone we can probably afford to keep for at least a while

Demarcus Lawrence is the perfect mentor for this kid. Similar games. Unrealistic expectations about sacks from guys that are great run stuffers.

D-Law and Ellis here working with him? That's some knowledge about discipline in run D.
