Renell Wren

At the combine he was the 5th heaviest (318) among the 33 "Dline" (not "edge") and not surprisingly was 5th in the bench press, but he also finished around the top ten in many of the running, jumping, and agility tests.

4th in broad jump (118")
9th in vertical (32")
12th in forty yard dash (5.01)
12th in short shuttle (4.53)
13th in 3 cone (7.65)

They said he showed a quick first step on film, but his production was lacking.  His senior year he had 43 tackles, 4.5 TFL, and 1 sack for Arizona State.

He only played 155 snaps his rookie season, and I always say you can't judge a plyer but his rookie season (especially a 4th rounder), but does anyone still have hope of him becoming the type of player who could contribute solid play in a rotation. 20%-25% of defensive snaps usually amounts to 15 to 20 plays a game.  That is a significant number of plays and could make a big difference in our defensive performance.

I will say I still have hope, but I am certainly not betting on it.  All I know is we need depth at dt.

I thought he had potential and maybe he will help push Tupao.  I think the organization might be kind of down on Tupao after a healthy opt-out left them very short handed at DT, so maybe Wren will either elevate and take his spot or bring out the best in Tupao.  Either way, I think his being here will help.  Can he become a starter?  Not likely this year.  He would have to show a lot this year.
