Trey Hendrickson flashed, but just wasn't seeing the field enough as Okafor stepped up and really surprised a lot of folks until he got hurt, again...

I think he’s the most explosive pass rusher in the draft with some incredible heavy hands. Florida State lined him up at the 5-technique a lot which was bizarre but when he’s out wide he’s a real force.

I think he spent most of college recovering mentally from the high school knee injury as he’s just now shedding the knee brace. He was given the all-clear at the Combine medical evaluation so I’m optimistic about his future. Tons of upside.
