I still think it's interesting he said nothing about wingspan. Anyone know?That is key to shedding blocks and one of the main reasons Freeney is so successful.

He believes the prototype for DE is:
Height=6'4"
Weight=270
Speed=4.6
Key trait is speed on the weak side and strength on the strong side.
Orakpo's measurements are:
6'4"
260
4.63 (unofficial)
Combine will tell, but it seems Orakpo has ample speed and strength.
I've seen probably 4-5 Longhorn games this year and my only knock on him is he got caught inside on a few running plays (2 of which were in the TX Tech loss).
I do like the fact that he comes from a long line of Longhorn D linemen lineage. In fact, Big 12 in general has put out some great D linemen. |
