He posted some some incredible numbers at the Combine such as a 4.44 40 but can he play? I have not heard much about him...

 

[Sciz]

He's a one dimensional speed rusher who doesn't have a whole lot of skill other than his speed.

I wouldn't say he is one dimensional. I'd call him a tweener who was holding on to a lot of water weight before the combine. However he does a pretty decent job in coverage and gets after the QB in a hurry. I have my doubts he could ever hold up against the pounding of the NFL in a 34 LB position, never mind setting the edge.

Then again he has got great special teamer written all over him and situational pass rusher. I keep wondering if he could drop 20 pounds and convert to safety. I could see Belichick utilizing this kid's ahtletic ability on the Pats.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Probably better suited for a 4-3. Some team will reach from him early based on the numbers alone. Can he tackle?

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

Can he tackle?

Yes. He hasn't worked much off the LOS so he has a lot of work ahead of him, but he's a great ahtlete whom Nevada kept at DE for his speed instead of trying to develop him.

Hmm. Which means that any team that took him would have to take time to develop him. Sounds like a project player to me. Could be a good special teamer. But with his height issues, 6'1. I don't see him ever being starter at olb for us.

No, but then you could have a 10 year Special Teams Ace and situational pass rusher. He could also be Robert Mathis' little brother, so don't get too comfortable when Indy is on the clock.

Yup he could be a good fit for Indy. They love those smaller, faster guys for their defense.

 

[Peachhead]

I'll bet he's gonna be an All-Pro ST gunner though.

If he's still there in the late 4th by any chance (unlikely) I'd start seriously thinking about him. BB would undoubtedly think up some diabolical way of using his size and speed.

I think he could fit in Houston too. I Wade Phillips ran a 3-4 with smaller linebackers in San Diego. I could see the Texans taking Moch in round 3 if they focus on their DL and DB issues in the earlier rounds.

Moch was actually super productive in college. Finished 4th in the nation in TFL and had 24 sacks over the past 3 years. Though that Nevada competition isn't exactly the nation's elite.
