If you watch his highlight film, you can see he is a big boy, and an awesome run stopper. He was nearly unblockable in some games, and had enough strength to rag doll several large running backs.
I’m actually liking this pick alot. Reminds me of Roy Miller as far as run stopping goes, but look at how he moves! I think that was Miller’s biggest problem, he was so sluggish. This guy is good at locating the ball carrier. He had 72 tackles… 72 tackles as a NT. That’s pretty damn good. If we could coach him up, he could really be a gem. Get him to use that strength and put some pressure
Oh look guys! Giants just took Ryan Nassib! Eli Manning must be on his way out because they didn’t make the playoffs last year! (a logical conclusion, right?)
Anyways, like the pick, we really just needed a warm body to take up two blockers. This guy seems fit to do that. Plus some upside.
Not sure what you guys are seeing or reading but this guy DOES NOT have a quick first step and isn’t isn’t good at penetrating, looks like a decent LOS guy who’ll make some tackles. I like this pick.
would of rather of got a olb to put with david and foster. I think we could of got this guy if we stayed were we were in the 4th. not the ideal pick with people that were still on the board. would of rathered had jesse Williams from Alabama if anything
When he is disciplined and keeps his pads low he is a beast. When he doesn’t do that he’s ineffective. I’m assuming he’s losing focus at times or it just hasn’t been drilled in to his head enough. Either way I’m confident it will be corrected.

From the video he seems almost impossible to move when anchored. I guess they wanted to replace Roy Miller with another space eater.

Run stopper with a quick first step and can penetrate? That sounds like a solid developmental NT.
