Not that I’m not high on him, I think he’s going to need time to develop. Really like his size and versatility, but I think it will take a red shirt year for him as a rookie, possibly on the practice squad. Who knows, maybe it all clicks for him and he becomes a reliable backup option with Buchanan. That would be great for the Pats, but maybe a little bit of a tall order for a guy coming out of Concordia.
Long-term he could be a great all-down defensive end, maybe even overtaking Ninkovich at some point.
