A youtuber who was showing it live in his chat said it best, Rousseau is being overshadowed by a superfreak athlete like Phillips who plays the same position. Rousseau's numbers are not bad at all. Hes just not superfreak athlete like Phillips..He **** sure didnt hurt himself. A 6'7 265lb prospect with a 7 footwing span, that can run a 4.68 is not going to slip out of the first round. The only people who still think this reside on CIS.
And furthermore, there is nothing else he could have done athletically to help himself even if he had opted in. I see him going in the mid first round. Once the run on DEs happens, someone will snatch him quickly.
