problem is there are legit questions about his work ethic and how talented he actually is…and if he can even play more than 2 downs in a pass happy league. Kid was brought in to Texas as a 3 star 255 lb DL..
Then basically spent 3 years at Texas unable to get on the field at DL for any significant level of impact……..and when he did get on, he did nothing of note really. Then in his 5th year, he goes super saiyan, puts on over 100 lbs of…”muscle”, turns into butterbean..and dominates a rather weak Big 12. Only 18 total starts in 5 damn years. There’s also a real question as to who was the real talent..him or his 2nd team all -American and 2023 big 12 lineman of the year counterpart Byron Murphy who was a true Jr. and went 22 slots ahead of him. Is his dominance tied to his girth, or actual strength…we don’t know b/c he didn’t do bench at the NFL combine lol. Getting him leaner to be able to play more than 2 downs more consistently……..which undoubtedly is what you guys’ S&C team will want to do…does that fundamentally change who he is as a player for worse?
you add in the recent off-field stuff, his rather unimpressive tape, and where Kris Jenkins went… this kid just wasn’t a 2nd round draft pick.
