Carlton Powell - Super Rookie?
DenverBroncos.com (here) says that Carlton Powell believes that a year of sitting through practices, film sessions and meetings, along with having regained full strength and flexibility, has prepared him to be a contributor.

That is an impressive stat
“Only player in NCAA history to have a negative yardage for run plays directed at him.”
Wow. If he brings that, I am stoked.

I'm with you, bear
I’ve been waiting ever since his injury to see what he can do for our run defense once he’s finally able to play. No doubt there’ll be a learning curve, just as there is with all players, particularly defensive tackles, but we should finally be able to get some idea of how good he’s going to be.

Yes
Draft BJ Raji for NT, Powell and Marcus Thomas on end. Ekuban and Peterson rotating in. A rushing LB in Dumerville. Question about him is can he handle pass coverage, and his whole thing was the long arms and the leverage. Is that helpful as a rusher rather than just coming up out of the down stance.
That could be a decent line, tho.

Looks to me like
He has a nasty spin move ala Freeney of the Colts. Might be his only pass rushing move, but hey, it only has to work once a game…

SWEET
I totally forgot about him! This could be huge for the D-Line this year.
