He's a DE... He's not going to be on the field against a WR or a TE.
But..but.. his 40 time....

I was down on the pick at first because he ran 4.9. The I remembered D-law ran 4.80 while weighing 251. Lawrence weighs 266 now, so I'm certain he's a 4.9 guy himself at this point.
Anae's no slower than Lawrence. HOPefully he has technique and a high motor.

Can we add Jackson and Jelks just to be silly?
Dont forget about Carter and Marino.
Someone from this group will surprise.
most important for the DEs is not 40 speed. if they have to dash 40 yards to get to the QB, that's a good thing, because the play is broken and QB is scrambling...the most important is how quickly they get off the line. that first step. how they set up the tackles, how "bendy" they are (getting under the tackle), their counter moves, change of direction and 10 yard speed at best....that's the area they operate in. 40 times for DL men is so over rated. same with OL men. give me their 10 yard split and their 3 cone shuffle time, those are better indicators, how many reps of 225, show me the power. do they use their hands well, pursue well, know their assignment, etc.....I was down on the pick at first because he ran 4.9.

Nice assessment.I just watched the senior bowl last night on the NFL channel. Anae had a monster game. He wasn't facing quality OTs but he was all over Jalen Hurts when he was on the field. Anae is relentless.
On the other hand, Terence Steele, the OT from Texas Tech the Cowboys signed as an UDFA did not look very good at all. Anae abused him as did several other DEs.
I was a little disappointed in the game Reggie Robinson played. He looked like a CB who likes to avoid contact, but it could be because it was an all star game rather than anything meaningful.
For what its worth, Terrell Burgess looked really good. He went to the Eagles. Burgess was always near the football in the game.
Very little. The traits you are born w/ can be improved on, yes, but not changed.Could one gain or improve speed/quick twitch muscles with a pro NFL strength and training program???
Wow, maybe Google will be your best friend in researching about the player before making such a deep insight as your statement is.He looks slow and plays slow.
Maybe he can do something at the end of games when the other team is tired.
Charles was taken in the 4th round...Charles Haley never had a fast 40 yard time.
I loved the pick. I'll be watching him and Gallimore to see who has a better rookie season. Don't know if this has been posted before:
