"Bengals selected Coastal Carolina EDGE Jeffrey with the No. 252 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.  

Gunter (6'4, 258) is a two-time All-Sun Belt first-teamer who was invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl. 2020 was arguably his best season as he finished with a career-high 6.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. His relative athletic score makes him an exciting prospect, running an elite 4.7 40 with a 35.5-inch vertical and a 2.7 20-yard split. For context, his elite RAS of 9.73 was just ahead of Kayvon Thibodeaux. As a pass rusher, he has an impressive stab-and-swipe move, and his ability to burst through the line helped him get to the quarterback at the collegiate level. His lack of strength stops him when he's cinched up, and he doesn't have the chopping skills to counter an offensive lineman's punching hands. He'll need to gain some strength if he wants to make it at the next level, but his athleticism gives him a chance to be a value pick for Cincy."
Not gonna lie…..i do not like when a lineman’s main con is lack of strength. Not like you can coach that. You draft this guy in the hopes that he perfects 1 or 2 moves and gets really really good at those moves. So good that it makes him playable on 3rd downs where your main guys are tired
