Those are some solid offers. Anyone know how fast/quick the guy is?

Most of the times I have on him are in the low 4.7s - not lightning-fast, but for a guy his size, he's pretty quick. He has good acceleration and strength, making him a very effective bull-rusher. I also have him at 6-foot-1.5 instead of the 6-2 listed here, but a half an inch means nothing. I haven't seen him in person, but on film, he looks a lot like 2006 SMU recruit Zac Thomas, and might well make the same move from high school DE to college DT. I don't see him ever bulking up to a 320- or 330-pound guy, but it's not hard at all to imagine this guy getting to 280 or 290, in which case he could go inside, or if he maintains his speed at that weight, he could stay outside, in the mold of Rice's Courtney Gordon.
