Oh i have no idea what he was like in college.
But when i look at rookie defensive linemen the first two things i look for are:
1. Can he hold his own at the point of attack? Is he getting mauled at the LoS? Does he have functional strength to hold up against NFL LT's?
2. An extension of 1, can he hold up in the run game.
If he can do those things in his rookie year then we're off to a good start. The pass rush stuff will come in time.
But if he can't do the thing mentioned above, then we can't really get him on the field to work on the pass rush stuff.
