Since becoming a starter, Larry Ogunjobi has seen his PFF grades come out very poorly. 61, 56 and then a 51.4 last season.
How can a DT with 107 pressures and 18 sacks grade that poorly?
He's just incredibly inconsistent with his motor, hands, leverage, vision, awareness.

When he wants to push and work he can be a force but when he takes plays off it looks bad.

Because sometimes PFF individual player ratings are a joke?

Last year he played 60% of the snaps on the leagues #3 rush defense and had as many TFLs as Sheldon Richardson.

He was making a ton of huge plays in 2018 and 2019.  Over those two seasons among all DTs he ranked 5th in TFLs (20), 6th in solo tackles (68), 11th in QB hits (28), and 12th in sacks (11).

This guy is only 26 years old and has no major injury issues.  He is a great athlete who blew up the combine when he placed first among DTs in both the broad jump and vertical, 3rd in the three-cone, 4th in bench, and 5th in the forty.

I think this could be a great signing.  But I think I considered DT a much bigger need than most people around here.
