AJ (Adonijah) Green, Louisville (I've seen him listed as both).
6-6, 250

The bolded is quite the claim from Draft Buzz

Scouting Report: Strengths​

• Best pure rusher in this group, built on edge speed and bend
• Generated thirty-eight pressures despite a part-time snap count
• Pressured Boston College seven times in a single game
• Length at 78 inches helps him win the corner and flatten to the quarterback
• Scored on a fumble recovery while forcing one earlier in the year

The stats do almost bear it out. On pressure rate from True Pass Sets, he is second only to Clev Lubin.

He needs to add weight, 250lbs at 6-6 suggests he's pretty lean, but is intriguing as a sub-package rusher.

Will Louisville be this year's TTU, Miami, Missouri with their EDGE pairings?

Interesting comp. I can see it.

He is bullying those OTs in those clips.

1. I'm glad the two clips against SMU were on the LT and not PJ Williams.

2. Look at the clip at about 1:01. The speed he closes on the scrambling QB is really impressive.

Chicago Bears Summer Scouting: Top Edge Rushers for the 2027 NFL Draft

Scouting some of the top names at edge rusher for the 2027 NFL Draft who could be the best fits for the Chicago Bears going into the 2026 college football season.

247sports.com

Feeling better about this EDGE group.

Dylan Stewart and Colin Simmons will go top 10.

Not interested in the base end types - Quincy Rhodes, Matayo Uiagalelei, Kenyatta Jackson, Will Heldt.

Damon Wilson a wild card.

But between Yhonzae Pierre, Jordan Ross, Clev Lubin, AJ Green, Boubacar Traore and Marquise Lightfoot there are really intriguing guys.

Gabe Jacas was a day 3 prospect this time a year ago.

Interesting observation from James Foster re Colin Simmons' conditioning.

Pressure rate by quarter.

1st - 23%
2nd - 20.9%
3rd - 17.9%
4th - 15.4%

Just something to keep an eye on next season.
