...what? At one point Suh was one of the 5 best defenders in the NFL. Honestly, his biggest issue was his off field issues that kept getting him in trouble and then his ego when he left Detroit. With that said, "Heisman Hype" isn't a draft evaluation. Suh did not come out graded as high as Young will and at a position of less impact nonetheless.
This, "Hey, remember that one guy? Yea see it may not work" thing can happen for any player by the way. Want me to do it for a QB? I can do it for O line if that's your cup of tea. Chase Young will come out graded as the highest graded defender we have seen in 10 years maybe outside Jalen Ramsey, but certainly the highest graded pass rusher. Whether you want to take him or not is kind of irrelevant to that evaluation.
