Still can't believe he fell out of the 2nd round to us.

Same with Tee Higgins the year before falling out of the first. Never expected either to happen. Both were 2 of my favorite players
in their entire Drafts. Ossai has great hands and this combined with how he takes angles are 2 awesome traits put into one Defensive
player. He might not pile up the sacks like Hendrickson but he will get Tackles for Loss in the run game which are almost as good.

Adding this guy to an already top 5 rushing Defense makes me giddy.

I just find it amusing that the perception is that Lou and the D were great in 2021 when it's objectively not true and they were arguably a worse sum than their parts should have produced. 

Winning makes that orange kool aid real tasty though. Lol

All true.

Made me think they can be a great D under Lou in 2022 though. That was impressive in the Playoffs and even in the Superbowl
against a high powered Rams Offense. Still had a chance to win even with the Kupp TD beating Apple. Damn OL let us down.
