What do you know about your Husky DE? Could he be a late round rushbacker?

Daniel Teo-Nesheim is who you're referring too. I think he could absolutely play the position but I'm not sure we should draft him with the expectation of anything more than depth. He's probably going to go in the 4th or 5th round this year. He was instrumental to Washington's unexpected defensive unit this year. Those guys really came together under Nick Holt and I give a lot of credit to Dan. I'd love to see him in Chiefs red, but I wouldn't expect him to start or anything.
Here's the thing though, I never count out guys that have the kind of work ethic that Daniel has. I know it sounds cliche, but he's got a great motor and passion for the game. He's the kind of guy that could turn into another Jared Allen type but you can't count on that coming out of the draft obviously.
High character, and he's got a couple of good moves that gets him into the backfield quickly. My biggest problem with him is that when bigger guys take him on he has a hard time breaking free.
