Can we talk about Tershawn Wharton?
 

This guy is like really ****ing good.

He’s playing so well as an UDFA rookie at a position where guys just simply don’t usually play that well until year 2 or 3.

His upside is extremely high for a guy that’s just a rotational player right now. Him and Jones as our interior pass rushers is going to be unfair for the next few years.

I've thought about this... it's unreal, actually. I can't think of an UDFA at an interior position from a school like Rolla that has made the jump like this kid. I mean he has tremendous potential.

He’s rated as the second best Rookie defensive lineman behind Chase Young

Its like hitting the lottery.

Allows us to let KPass walk after the season. Never going to be able to pay him what he will demand on the market anyway. Hopefully we will get a nice comp pick out of the deal.

He's incredible and has been since day/game 1. Both him and Danna were steals.

I know it’s PFF, but holy shit!

It’s really not all that surprising though when you think about it. Like I said, that’s a position where guys usually don’t play this well in year 1.

His size probably prevents him from being starting material, but with a DC like Spags, I see him getting used a LOT in key situations because he's so good and slicing through shit down the middle like a knife.

Think Wallace Gilberry but with a lot more athletic potential.

I remember folks wanting to use a first on Epenesa.

Epinesa is a DE, Wharton is a DT. Not sure what you're getting at here?

that hustle play to force the fumble in Denver was fantastic....guy never quits moving

Would be interested in knowing what he weighs currently. 255 seems way under for how he plays and what he looks like.

Technically he will probably never be a starter for us, but nowadays when you’re playing in subs for the majority of the game, he’s going to get a ton of snaps.

Him and Jones are a lot to deal with on passing downs.

I’m sure Khalen Saunders was given a break to rest up this past week, but it did appear like he was a healthy scratch.

That makes me wonder... did the emergence of Wharton make him a possible trade piece?

A whole lotta headscratcher takes in here already. Saunders trade bait? Not a starter because of his size? Wtf lol

We had a phenomenal draft/UDFA from what I can tell- CEH, Danna, Sneed, Wharton and Gay. Plus we have Niang which could possibly give us some OL help next year.
