Like Dee Ford, his athleticism was really good. His 6.94 3 cone would have been first for DE’s at the combine this year and his 20 shuttle would have been 3rd.
He was always a developmental pick

There's a difference between a guy developing at a normal pace and a guy who is inactive in the playoffs. If he was a true rotational player last year and just getting less snaps than the starters, that's one thing, but he only played 20% of snaps last year and that was a year in which Omenihu missed 6 whole games. And then after that he was inactive in the playoffs and only got 7 snaps after Omenihu tore his ACL. No one expects that from a 1st round pick. And that's why they're bringing both guys back that were ahead of him on the depth chart. Hopefully he can show something while Omenihu works his way back from injury though.
