Why was he so dominant in the SEC but couldn't carry a cup of coffee in the NFL? Methinks the defenses weren't all they were cracked up to be.


If I recall correctly he racked up a lot of sacks in nonconference rent a wins and in like one SEC game against a bad team. He didn’t do anything against the good teams, but his overall stats looked good.

You must be right because it doesn't make any sense.

And the draft was weird, they acted like he would be a charity case but touted his SEC accomplishments. Everyone was like, this is the SEC, what's going on here...Why would he be flier?

19 TFL:
- 3 @#24 vandy (yes they were ranked)
- 3 UF
- 3 #4 USC
- 1 #18 A&M

11.5 Sacks:
- 3 @#24 vandy
- 3 UF
- 1 #4USC
- 1 @Ole Miss
- .5 #18 A&M

So the majority of his production did come in conference but the SEC only numbers were not groundbreaking. The non-con did indeed inflate them a little.
