He's looking really impressive! Stoked to hear this!! Really pulling for him to make the team - and he doesn't wear gloves

He's getting way too much buzz... I think he's already on the Final 53. He could easily fill the pass-rushing specialist role that Tom Johnson had for years. He seems like one of those rare guys that you can throw "measurables" out the window and just call him a football player.

He's very undersized at 275 lbs and he will wear down over a season if used too much.
