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. [Reply]
He's looked really good for a rookie, much less an UDFA. Kid could be a valuable piece of the puzzle the next few years. Having a rotation piece with Jones is valuable as hell, not to mention their ability to team up on obvious passing downs and wreak havoc. Going to be fun to watch. [Reply]
Man, all you MUST alums had best be ordering Wharton jerseys as we speak. Dude is a badass with an incredible motor who isn't going to be outworked by anyone. His spot is about as secure on this team as anyone's, sans Sir Patrick. [Reply]

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.
If he was just a combine warrior, I think it would be more surprising. But, wasn't he wrecking teams in his league? I thought (can't look it up right now) that I remembered reading how he was dominating opposing teams, and that it was surprising that he wasn't a late round pick.
But, I may be full of it, and not remembering correctly.

Dominating teams at a lower level is a good thing, but he was dominating teams at a very low level. Rolla is a step below semi-pro ball. I think it would be really hard to evaluate a player in that situation. It would be like evaluating you or me playing basketball against third graders. [Reply]
