and edge pass rush quickness. A speed rusher that is active with his long
arms. Everson Griffin, junior entry, plays both in a two-point stance or
down in a three-point stance. Plays like a linebacker on his feet. Quick
first step to rush the quarterback. Good lateral quickness and works to
finish the play. Brandon Graham is shorter than ideal but is productive
