Quote:I actually had a fair amount of optimism on Ngakoue after watching him at the minicamp, but I honestly thought he''d take longer to make this kind of impact.

The bend he has is what always stood out to me. He's the anti-Andre Branch in that way.

You're right. Can't teach it - and he's got it.


It's funny to think of Gene picking Branch in the second round and Caldwell landing Ngakoue in the third.

Yannick is looking like the type of guy you land in the late 1st round, simply because he's a DPR type of player, with a high upside.

 

Well, as we've seen these first 4 games, he's more than just a DPR.

 

Yea, he needs more work on his run defense, by the guy can flat out get after the QB.

 

His bend and pass rush ability is awesome for just being a rookie.

 

On the side note, you got to see him live in minicamp? I'm sure it's clear for you that he's gotten better in just these few months yeah?
