I really liked what I saw of him with Senior Bowl practice videos and game. I think his draft value has grown to a point he may be overvalued into the 1st round. If you watch some Minnesota football games, you see that often times good OTs can control him. The sacks were usually coverage sacks. His playing stats have not been that dominant.
2018 - 6 games, 12 tackles, .5 sack
2019 - 7 games, 14 tackles, 3 sacks
2020 - 6 games, 27 tackles, 4.5 sacks
2021 - 12 games, 34 tackles, 7 sacks
Mafe has excellent physical qualities. He can develop into a good NFL DE, but I would prefer him at 50, but know he will be gone by then because of probable draft value.
