He was unblocked. Why would you be impressed by that?

Learn something about football Danny before you start throwing around draft pick suggestions.

He was unblocked because, by definition, Chris Long is unblockable by an NCAA lineman. He spent more time in the backfield than most running backs last year.

I don't have an opinion because I haven't seen him much.

On that video, he neither went around or through blockers, he went straight ahead and sloughed off two blockers who had bad angles.

Hard to tell much from that video.

I can't see youtube at work, so I can't comment on the video. However I watched him against Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, and another game that escapes me, and nobody could handle him, or really even slow him down one-on-one.

Hahah!!!! Yes, Chris Long sucks!!! You are a total fool. You know Chris long is considered unblockable and one of the best if not the best de in the ncaa right?

Oh really? The kid had 14 sacks and is by ncaa consensus unblockable.

Clearly you dont watch him play. The video was meant to show his quickness and speed. Something we need. For the record he blew by two blockers with a clear hold on him. But the angles sucked , right....

That play won the game with a safety. You dont think the opposing blockers where doing there best to stop the best de in the ncaa?

Well he beat two guys, an offensive lineman, and what looks to be a FB or RB to get a sack for the safety. It's a nice individual play, but I'd like to see more before passing judgment. Any decent defensive player will have a few highlight plays that you can point at. The question for me is can this guy play OLB? Because at 280 lbs, he is too small to play defensive end in the Pats 3-4.
