I'm assuming he just didn't play a lot of quality opponents. So he very well may be special?

He was a force vs Conference USA opponents...

The big knock is his short arms; many scouts and some former GMs have basically said the same thing that if Trey had longer arms, he'd been second round pick, possible even a first...

With his short arms, he's expected to struggled against long arm OTs (like Zach Strief)...

If we drafted T-Rex... I say... he should eat the opposing team until he is full.

I'll just leave it here ...

Trey Hendrickson arm length: 32"

Derek Barnett arm length: 32 1/8"

If Trey develops proper technique, he will create space and openings to beat his man on a consistent basis.

Coach em up (see new D line coach Ryan Nielsen).

Some things just don't make sense huh K? Now that I think about it, the tyrannosaurus had short arms too.

I'm just turning a negative into a positive. Trey will benefit by having a good D line coach to help him with his craft. I've already read posters compare Trey to Tull (which is unfair). Tull didn't even have a pass rushing technique. If he had no speed, he wouldn't have won any one on one battles.

I think Mitch or Hagan uploaded a tape on new D line hire Nielsen where he was coaching "one arm is longer than two", which means to engage in with a single arm and body and not allow offensive lineman to get both hands inside the shoulder pad/chest area. Basic technique and a huge part of becoming an effective pass rusher.

Coach em up to their potential & turn a weakness into strength .

I didn't really compare him to Tull, just said that Tull had a high number of sacks just like Hendrickson so I hope he turns out better.

I'm warming up to the picks the more I look into it, just wish we had solidifed the pass rush earlier.

Lol, naw I wasn't referring to you Diz. This knuckle head on Nola.com was making a weak argument last night after the pick.

We're family here bro .
