Groves faced 300+ OTs his entire career at Auburn, and put up great numbers his entire time. He's very strong for a DE (he's 260, by the way), and has insane quickness that will plague any OT that doesn't have elite footwork.

I meant LB in a 3-4. I'm just saying he's small for a DE and tended to wear down late in games constantly handling much larger blockers. Again, great player, just not the best fit. Especially if we go D in the first having had the 31st offense in the league and relying on the draft to make improvements. Ellis and Allen will give us an incredible pass rush. We have no CB's to speak of so we would still be succeptable to short quick passes to negate the pass rush.
