His combine gets a pass because of illness, but I will be anxious to see how many people get back on his bandwagon after his pro day. Remember, the Bengals like production, and this guy has it in spades, at a very high level of competition.
If you watch his film, it's apparent that he doesn't have an effective bull rush or an inside move. He rushes outside almost exclusively and tries to bend the corner. He doesn't have elite get off, so he guesses at the snap count to compensate. In college, it worked to great effect, but in the NFL, he will get shut down just doing the same move over and over. He will need to mix his rush up to keep the T guessing to be effective.
