He is built like Nick Bosa. I love the idea of using him that way.

He definitely has a pass rushing skill set. In his last year at Wisconsin he was used a little differently and had 8 sacks and a couple forced fumbles. He wasn’t lined up as a rushbacker to get those numbers, either. He got them mostly by eyeing QBs while in short sone coverages and was shot out of a cannon the moment a qb tucked the ball.
In the times he was lined up tight to the line and blitzed, he was very productive, too. That lead to a few of us asking if he was possibly going to get sone snaps as a rushbacker at the next level.
Well, here we are. I’m pretty excited to see what Spags can do in terms of nascar packages against teams with lumbering OTs and guys like Thompson, Chenal, Uzi and Karl on the edges and Omenihu/Jones/Wharton on the inside.
Should be damn fun to watch towards the end of this year.
I really hope KC can ink CJ95 to a deal in the offseason that keeps him a Chief for life. We have something tremendously special happening on defense. Like, all time type special possibly.
