simply because he wasn’t able to produce at a high level, even going up against lower-level competition in Conference USA.

I know they mostly played nobodies, but I think that he looked good against
Baylor: LINK

and TA&M: LINK

and people worried about his sack numbers, watch those two videos and you'll see that he played a lot of strong side DE, where players get fewer sack opportunities. He does a good job in the running game so I don't agree with the people saying that we will likely use him almost exclusively on 3rd down this season.

And not that it's a big deal since he won't do it often, but I saw some draft analyses saying that he struggled in coverage. He looked fairly fluid in his backpedal the few times he does it in those clips. He looks like he has the ability, he might just not have the mental aspects down yet.
