Ed’s showing that he can change direction with ease and get to the ball carrier. If the RB cutback or a counter-type of play that RB is in trouble‼️@Edoliver_11 pic.twitter.com/MxF3vrr7Tt

Edge Rusher

So, Brian Burns is No.1 by SackSEER, is a Force Player, and, for my money, is the most polished pass-rusher aside from Nick Bosa

.@LSUfootball @DevinWhite__40 is the best player in this draft. Since I can’t find a single “COMP” for his abilities I had to go Marvel; and find a true SUPERHERO to compare him to. When your MLB is a superhero your defense is Superafast. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/iF09l0JPK4
