It's funny because people on Twitter who were obsessed with his combine and athleticism were hyping up plays where TJ Clemmings shut him the hell down.
Dupree ran himself out of plays or was generally ineffective. Just like he did in college when he couldn't just "out athlete" everyone.
I didn't see all of it, but I'm yet to see him translate that god-given ability into an actual football move. That should be somewhat alarming.
I think a player "like" him can be implemented immediately in our sub-packages as a situational rusher, but I think that's all he can possibly do and be effective right now. I wouldn't want him setting an edge anytime soon.
I put stock into metrics if they are off the charts like his, but it's easy to mistake him as a football player when he really could be just a great athlete and nothing more. His tape pretty much displayed all his red flags when if he couldn't just run around or through a dude, he's toast. Then it's just a matter if he's coach-able, because I believe a player of his caliber can become effective.
