Has the fastest takeoff from the snap. Dane Bruglars freaks list year timed multiple defensive players Mafe was the fastest off the snap. Include a 4.5 forty at 260 lbs.

I pulled that from NFL.com, they usually just copy the official combine numbers.

Starting to think he isn't making it out of the first round. He's right in our wheelhouse where I expect him to go. Arizona loses Chandler Jones........I can see them pulling the trigger.

Physically he has all the tools. Strong with speed & quickness. Looked fluid occasionally dropping into coverage.

The Edge players on that defense play a run contain first style.

The question is why is he considered a developmental player when he played 4 season of college football?

He only started 9 of 13 games in 2021 and played in a rotation.

He did have 7 sacks in 2021.

So much potential. If the character is good, is he another Danielle Hunter? Or is he another Chaisson?

Would like to see more production, but he's got everything it takes to be an excellent pass rusher. And we've got an excellent DC who worked wonders with another raw talent.

Covid Ball maybe. 2020 likely would have been a breakout year, but they only played 7 games. He had 4.5 in 6
