I too was (am) worried he's a couple (or a few) years away from being overly impactful though.

My thought as well. I don't follow college football, nor have I watched more than a few of his highlights. He may not be getting sacks, but he does get wins. He get's pressure on the QB, and IMO, sometimes that's better than a sack if the QB throws desperately, gets picked, or offers another to get to him. Thinking maybe he's a complementary piece to Trey. Can't say for sure since the contract situation is just stupid as all hell.

I'm not sure how supportive his mates were in college either, so my theory could be bullshit. If they were uncomplimentary, then he had a lot on his shoulders. If they were and he still got that sack rate, that's concerning. I do like the pressure, though.
