The question I ask myself watching his college tape against quality opponents like Washington is:  "What talent was around him at ASU?".  I keep coming back to the answer of "not much".  He was double and sometimes triple teamed.  He always appeared to be gap-sound, but the rest of his line would often get washed out.  The few plays he was given a green light to rush the passer, he pancaked the center and showed great power and burst.

He was even asked to drop back in to coverage at times.  He did defend two passes...

Regardless, the point wasn't so much a comparison of accomplishments in college, but their athleticism.
