but exactly how does a DE's college stats

plenty of defensive schemes can cause #'s to become infalted. 1 gap vs 3 gap DT, 3/4 DE vs 4/3 DE. The offense u play against can cause a # fluctuation. Playing Texas Tech is going to produce a lot more chances for sacks as opposed to playing GT who only throws the ball 15 times a game. And it's not just schemes but respobsiblities in that scheme. A DE for one team could be a strongside DE who is tasked with playing the run as opposed to the weakside DE who is just going to rush the passer. ETA and it's not just saying Kerrigan's stats were inflated, you look at why the other guys maybe had lower stats.

And it's not just schemes why you should look beyond the stats, Level of competition, talent level of an individual's own teammates, quality of coaching recieved at college, all reasons why college stats should not be the sole determining factor in deciding who to pick.
