you obviously value pressures more than i do. The all caps prove it.
but even with all the pressures, his defensive stats relative to the rest of the NFL pass rushers were ....... middle of the pack. Better than average.
People are making him out to be the next great pass rusher or...
as an aside -- lost in the DROY / rookie sack thing:
the leader was Kobie Turner of the Rams with 9. DT out of Wake Forest.
2nd was Byron Young with 8 of........ the effin Rams (and who probably should have won DROY)
maybe its the Aaron Donald effect, but still.
add Puca Nucua to...
you know what lots of pressures and TFLs, but not a lot of sacks gets you?
Jadaveon Clowney. A good but not great player. Clearly a disappointment for being drafted 1st. A disappointment even being drafted top 10.

maybe he turns into a difference maker, but his year was pretty mid
report after report where scouts say the three are so close --
aside from fit with what the Cardinals want to do, do you really think rankings of the three WRs matter? Its a distinction without a difference
pretty sure at this time last year -- nobody -- this board, local media, etc -- were putting an OT to the Cards
i seem to recall some early Skoronski momentum, but that petered out by Feb
