An ideal LEO

 

Sept 24:



^{NFL.com reports there's "buzz in the NFL scouting community" that Nebraska redshirt junior edge rusher Randy Gregory "might be the best pass rusher in the 2015 class."}


^{"At a college game recently, we heard an NFC scout rave about Gregory's natural rush skills and freakish athleticism," reported Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks and Charles Davis. "The veteran scout compared Gregory to the San Francisco 49ers' Pro Bowl OLB Aldon Smith and talked about how Gregory has all of the physical tools needed to be a standout as a pro. Despite battling through a nagging injury that's limited his participation early in the season, Gregory has continued to impress evaluators with his disruptive skills off the edge. The scout tells us that Gregory has been so dominant in limited action that he couldn't imagine how effective he will be when he is finally healthy and back to 100 percent." The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Gregory collected 10.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss as a first-year starter in 2013. "We've spoken to several evaluators who believe the Nebraska standout will be a bonafide star at the next level because of his special athleticism and Sep 24 - 9:01 PM}

^{Oct 2:}<div>^{Nebraska redshirt junior edge rusher Randy Gregory "has the athletic skill-set that will be attractive next spring," according to CBS Sports' Dane Brugler.}
^{"Does he have NFL functional power? How much bulk and strength can he add to his lean-muscled frame? These are questions that will linger far beyond this contest, but Gregory has the athletic skill-set that will be attractive next spring," Brugler wrote. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Gregory, has 4.5 sacks, averaging a conference-best 1.12 sacks per contest. Last year Gregory collected 10.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss as a first-year starter in 2013. Brugler notes that, Gregory's "first step quickness and natural athleticism make it tough on any blocker in space," but in tight spaces "scouts want to see him show improved hand technique." <span>Oct 2 - 2:31 PM

^{NFL Media Reporter Albert Breer reports that one NFC scout says Nebraska redshirt junior edge rusher Randy Gregory "hasn't scratched the surface of what he's capable of. Still raw and still making plays."}


^{The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Gregory, has 15 sacks in 17 games for the Cornhuskers. Last year Gregory collected 10.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss as a first-year starter in 2013. This season, Gregory has 4.5 sacks, while averaging a conference-best 1.12 sacks per contest. The NFC college scout added that Gregory "still has plenty of room to grow, both physically and technique-wise."}

pretty much what we all knew already.

 

right now i believe he would be a top 5 pick and potentially a target for the jaguars.

Not to mention he is from Jacksonville.


He'd be my top target right now with Vic Beasley behind him.

Admittedly, I haven't seen this guy play, but holy cow. 6'6" 245? If he could add about 20 lbs to his frame he could be a total beast. I worry he's a bit too light to hold up to big 300 lb linemen playing on the d-line right now, but again, haven't seen him play..

Future LEO?

He is a physical specimen, but he has a lot to learn. He realizes solely on his speed to beat OL men. From the video I've watched on him whenever he goes up against a good tackle he struggles, but if he add's another 20 pounds of muscle and learn better technique he could be wreak havoc.

Not sure about this guy playing in the Big10. It is so easy to screw up a draft pick on a speed rusher.

 

Of course come to think of it we are real good at that.

A lot of the positives on his skill set talk about how he has violent hands and an array of moves but the moves need technique refinement. They talk about how is really in the early stages of learning the positions intricacies.

Shane ray from Mizzou is a guy who could wind up being a pick for the LEO here too. He's been a monster this season, coming up really strong against south Carolina.


If round 1 goes to a high profile db and round 2 goes to the o line, because ray is a bit undersized he could slip to late second or early third.


Will have to keep an eye on it.
