how good is a healthy Rousseau?

Why wasn't he higher ranked than he was? Why wasn't he a 5 star?

Hes the type of prospect that flashes everything he can and has the length just needs that bulk to not get pancaked. Him bulking might effect his explosiveness. A 5 star has the Size, Stats, Situation. Rousseau has all the tools to "Tackle" any obstacles literally. You cant coach someone to have a motor or his wingspan. Sean Taylor is a Flattering comparison but Ed Reed was a Low Recruit and made people pay by getting drafted high. Ed Reed then out performed most the people drafted ahead of him. Lets see how far Rousseau can Reach. Manny Diaz's Defense gives almost every defender a chance to shine, literally if you get a Turnover you know the "Turnover Chain Bestowing" has TV/Social Media promotions to improve his brand.

everyone said he is Jesus in camps so lets see......he looked like a freak in HS. I didnt like that he added weight so fast when he got here and maybe that put alot of those knees too fast. This kid will be a problem and maybe it was good to sit out a year, everytime I saw his HS film he looked like the Sean Taylor of defensive ends foreal.

I value your opinion so I hope the ST reference is anywhere near true. I watch The Stork play and still think he is our GOAT with ST and Ed close seconds, so a ST of DEs is beyond exciting.

For those who got a chance to see him do more than mop up duty, ala Spring ball, how good is he? He kept racking up sacks, but those aren't live bullets, so I'm just curious what we could see from a healthy Rousseau.

I'm excited, but you also have to recognize when he was making all those plays in Spring, he was the warning shot across our bow about the status of our O-line.

Wait hold on I dont mean hes Sean Taylor lets pump the brakes, i meant it as in the frame and HS tape where his size is too much for HS players. He was just next level for those kids IMO.

Well, paint me excited! I hope half of that is true, because if we do get Trevon, we will see more sacks this year. Conversely, our run D might not be as good (minus the Wisc game).

Honestly didn't feel like our run D was good over the whole year. It seems like each year Manny finds a way to fix at least one major deficiency, hoping this year it is the run D.

He out performed everyone drafted ahead of him - and 2002 was a bloody good Draft too!

Leverage, power, speed and most importantly PASSION to play.

This young man can be an All American 1st team before he’s finished.

My advice, keep the wide eye hunger to learn , train as if you’re in the desert and will do anything for a DROP of water and play greedy never enough.

When asked how You did, I’m lucky to be here and want it all.

He’s special, and and doesn’t even know it , THAT’S the way to be

100%l accurate. The kid seems to have special talent but his only body of work was against our o-line in the spring. During the course of the regular season the o-line made our opponents d linemen look like HOFers. Thank God we didn’t play Clemson’s d line!

That's exactly what he looks like on the edge. If we really get Hill and the UCLA DT, I'm freaking pumped.

Unfortunately our history is no hill, man I hope this staff do thing different from the past 4, especially the 3 prior to richt.

I not sure family, but I would venture to say better than an unhealthy one.
 
Not really related, but for as many times he appeared in articles about the S&C gains and all the sacks there is still only 9 people on this board who can spell his last name correctly without cheating. It's not even that difficult either.
