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?

You are selling me in AJ Green. Chandler Jones.

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.
