DE, Tanoh Kpassagnon

Kpassagnon has been “my guy” ever since another writer here at CSC and I stumbled upon his film during a study session. I wanted to wait until I saw him in person to decide if what I had thought before was true. My conclusion: He is the real deal.

Measuring in at over 6’6 and 280 lbs Kpassagnon looks like he was built out of granite. Lining up primarily as a wide 9 or 6/7 on the weak side (pass rushing side), Kpassagnon spent the day going against one of the highest rated OL in the draft in Forrest Lamp. Showing great bend considering his size, he was able to get under the much shorter Lamp (6’3) to get strong leverage more plays than not.

His most impressive play of the day also comes with video footage. From the defensive end position in this drill, he drives back Lamp and tosses him to the side like a rag doll. Tanoh still is a raw talent. He has the athletic and physical ability to put himself on the same level as the 1st round grades in this draft. The catch is he is still very raw.

Going to school at Villanova means this is one of the first looks anyone is getting to see of him going against higher talent tackles. As of the first day, he’s catching a lot of eyes. Several teams interviewed him today, following his performance.

I'd be more impressed if it wasn't coming from CSC.

Not to bash Kpassagnon but that play is just as much Lamp putting himself in a very bad position. He opens his hips too much and plays high, at the end his feet stops and he leans forward and that is when Kpassagnon tosses him It does not take much effort at that time.

Kpassagnon sounds French.....so there's that. And he looked pretty darn good at the first couple of practices. I can't wait to see more of him on film.

At this point, I don't care if his name is Buddha Jones, can he put the quarterback on his back and set the edge?
