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.
What gets my attention with Jordan Willis is his Combine 40 time of 4.53 at around 6 foot 4 and 255 pounds.
Myles Garrett posted a 4.64 at 6 foot 4 1/2 272 pounds at the Combine.
Von Miller posted a 4.53 at his Combine at around 6 foot 3 and 246 pounds then a 4.49 at his Pro Day.
I seriously doubt Jordan Willis will be in Von Miller's league but the Bengals could use some speed on the D-line.
