Don’t overthink it. Rousseau is enormous, a great athlete, a clean kid, plays hard and had 15.5 sacks in his only season. He probably would’ve had 20+ sacks if he was as strong then as he is now.
He is going to go high.
If Rousseau comes in ready for the combine, I doubt he slips much. Teams will see a freak who had 15.5 sacks in his only season.
Kwity Paye, the next closest edge prospect, has 11.5 sacks in his entire four-year career.
Players like Phillips tend to rise fast. He will put up huge numbers at the combine, our coaches will give glowing reviews, he’ll be smart in interviews, teams will fall in love with the motor and sell themselves on the strong finish.
