Some buzz about him today made me curious to look back at my recruiting notes and re-watch a lot of his available film.
Despite having two extremely strong players in front of him, I'm really curious how the coaches will keep Jon Garvin off the field. Joe Jackson is a potential Top 15 pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Trent Harris simply makes plays and was at the top of the defensive leaderboard last year for TFLs. They're both excellent fits in Manny Diaz's WDE position. Jon Garvin will somehow push them.
He's not only an EE, but a player still growing into his body. Dude is still not 18 years old (1 more month). Freakish long arms. Great hand use. But, here's what makes me say it'll be difficult to keep him off the field:
His lateral ability is probably already one of the best of our DL. You can throw him in a game and let him chase the ball around a bit and he'll be fine. Even if he gets minimal snaps this year, here's a guy who'll help us gamblers cover spreads by picking up sacks and even TOs in blowout games. Couldn't be more excited for him and, I know others are also high on him, so I'll predict he scraps together a 5+ sack season. Maybe one of those 2-3 sack games in our early cupcake schedule.
