This puzzles me.  Did you know that he played mostly LDE in college and had to first read the handoff from a large number of zone-read offenses in the Big 12?  He unselfishly executed his assignment, and held up against the run while setting the edge on that side.  On obvious passing downs, that is where he made his money.  He would show strength in not getting pushed wide, and had a solid number of pass-rushing maneuvers.  

To generate the kind of TFL and sack numbers he did as a LDE was more than impressive.  He also virtually never gets tossed aside, a la Myles Garrett.
