So how come the SEC defensive player of the year is going to go undrafted.

Yeah, to expand on what Morningview posted, Sam had horrifically bad measuables at the combine.

I've been following the NFL for years now but I'm a little surprised that front offices would value combine performances that heavily over actual game tape. I don't watch the SEC so I don't know how Sam looked, but surely he looked at least good enough to deserve DPOY?

We can always use defenders to work with and gently caress it its good PR

Yeah, his draft profile explains why he's still available:

quote:

Strengths
Good arm length. Anticipates the snap and has a very good initial first step. Plays hard -- gives great effort and competes every down. Good on-field intensity and demeanor. Attacks the edges aggressively and motor runs hot. Outstanding weight-room strength -- can squat a small house. Very durable.
Weaknesses
Lacks burst and acceleration off the edge to get a step on blockers and finish. Sack production results from effort and production flushed to him and is not creatively produced with savvy pass-rush moves, speed, power or bend. Average hip flexibility and snap -- struggles clearing his hips at the top of his rush and trimming the corner. Adequate anchor vs. the run. Is late to disengage from blocks. Does not strike with authority. Inconsistent tackler. Late bloomer who could require time to adapt to the pro game.
Bottom Line
A productive, 4-3 weakside rusher who came on as a senior and it made his last season his best. Could fit most ideally as a 3-4 outside linebacker in a zone-blitzing scheme like the Steelers or Ravens. Compares favorably to Chargers 2009 first-round pick Larry English, an overhyped, overdrafted, marginal producer in the pros.

I hope he ends up kicking rear end, I just kinda had my expectations shat on watching the combine.

It didn't mean what it has in the past but it's still kind of an impressive thing to get.

Sam hit the perfect spot of being just good enough to honestly be really good in college and probably not be worth much in the NFL. I still expect him to get picked sometime in the 7th.

It matters, but there's a certain level of size and athleticism you need to play in the NFL, and he probably falls a bit short of that. He's also going to have to learn a new position. Coming out was a brave thing and I hope someone takes a flier on him late, but there a bunch of a legit reasons to pass on him.
