I certainly wasn't trying to be critical with my comments and questions...I just know there's a big difference between throwing a discuss and playing DE at the D1 level no matter how good of an athlete you are. If he has the feet (I suspect he has the strength) then he might develop but it will likely take a couple years.

He was late coming off the ball and really didn't trail plays. I also didn't really see him use his strength to swim or hold up the right tackle.

Having said all or that, I'm willing to give a few concessions.

I know his knee got banged up earlier in the week and he was wearing a brace for much of that time. I am willing to admit that it looked like he was favoring that knee during practice. When he jogged off to the sidelines, he would run with his head down studying and favoring that knee.

With as much hype as we have written about him, this could not have been the great Margus Hunt playing at 100%. Right?
