Watch the games from last year. He was the only threat teams had to game plan for and was double and tripled on nearly every play and still produced. It’s not just about sacks. He disrupted every play. He’s a naturally very strong person and has an elite work ethic by all reports. His motor never even slows down, let alone stops. He brings everything on every play. It’s impressive.
He also has a nice arsenal of pass rushing moves. He’s already very good using his hands to free himself from blocks and will only improve. Very impressively heavy hands. Well prepared snd very rarely fooled. Teammates speak about his leadership qualities. Foreign player that understands the opportunity and has motivation to excel.
He’s an improved version of Tamba Hali in many ways.
He’s going to be an instant fan favorite with his play style and how he speaks.
