Patterson's junior film is awesome, but Neal is something to watch going forward, and different than our usual DE. The thing is that he has the arms/speed of a DE, with leverage/strength of a DT. Tough combo to throw at OT's, because he can get under and around bigger guys, and overpower smaller ones. May be a third down guy, who knows, but I see why people kind of push him back down the excitement hill, but he could be special...the anticipation in to how they develop is the fun part, as well....
People will cringe at this comparison, but Neal is a bit like Rahim Alem. Alem was good at getting the QB, but that's about it. We should have just used Alem as a 3rd down/obvious pass down guy...which is what Neal should be. A sack or QB hurry is a HUGE plus to have.

Alem overpursued, and you could just run at him, all day. Patterson, is very smart in his approach. Plays alot like Sam, in that he lets things develop, and then attacks. He fits Chavis' style, right now, better than anyone we recruited at DE. He'll be good as an everydown guy in a few years, with Moffit. Neal, is tougher to predict, but I can see him as more of a situational 3rd down guy like you say, but nothing I've seen can I draw to Alem at this point, he's just so different( in a good way).
