That's a little concerning. I'm not being pessimistic or anything but Gwacham seems to have the inside track to being our starting DE and he has 6 weeks to learn how to play the run.

He's only been at the position for two years, but at least he has the coaching now
Receiver and special teams player in college, and also high jumped 6'10'' and competed in the triple jump, so he must have some powerful legs to get that 250 airborne
I'm a little surprised he is getting reps ahead of Richardson, but I guess they are trying to get an extended look
