Key has a rare trait that not many defensive linemen can be taugh. Arden understands how to use leverage and his feet to put offensive linemen on their heels. He also knows how to use speed and turn it into power. He probably developed it from playing at such a low weight with not a lot of packed muscle. It's a trait that guys like Leonard Williams had at USC. I think Key is a lot further along than we originally thought. He might take Bower's spot mid-season once he's been in the weight room some more. Our Leo position is in good hands.

Eta: I forgot to mention this originally but Key also has outstanding bend in his hips. He can turn on a dime and chase down anyone.

Eta2: Key also possesses a critical tool in a pass rushers arsenal: violent hands. His hands are very active in his pass rushing. If Orgeron can make his hands even more precise and coordinated he will only be that much better.

also coached by O, of course

I think it's very possible he breaks the SEC freshman sack record. I think he's better than Garrett as well.
garrett might be the most overrated player in the country. yeah he had 11.5 sacks last year, but 8 of those were against ULM, Rice, and Lamar.

UL Monroe - 3.5
Rice - 2.5
Lamar - 2
South Carolina - 1
Mississippi State - 1
Ole Miss - 1
West Virginia - .5
Arkansas - 0
bama - 0
LSU - 0
Auburn - 0
SMU - 0

he did lead the SEC in sacks per game, but filter out non-P5 schools and he falls the 16th. there were even 2 other freshman in front of him.

nationally, he was tied for 90th vs P5. there were 5 other freshman in front of him.

he wasn't even top 50 in the SEC in tackles per game

and now hes playing under chavis, so he might not even reach those numbers again
