Monster. As disappointing as this yrs squad has been so far, he's lived up to all expectations, Boss.

Quite as kept, the #1 DE at Purdue has been about as sure a thing as you'll find in the NFL. The track record starting with Chike Okeafor and Rosy Colvin is impeccable: Akin Adele, Shawn Phillips, Ray Edwards, Rob Ninkovich, Anthony Spencer.

Now its an easy argument that he's been the most dominant. I think he'll beast in the NFL. Interestingly though, only Ray is actually playing DE in a 4-3. The rest I belive are OLBs in a 3-4 offense. RK will be a DE.

Kepier (I know) has him #13 on his big board. Would be shocked if he slips out of the 1st round if he stays healthy, like all th Purdue DEs the combines will help not hurt.
