AJ Epenesa - Iowa DE
Some scouts are claiming he's the best 5 tech coming out of the draft. He finished off his collegiate career in the Holiday Bowl vs USC ... 2.5 SACKS & forced fumble. Saw some tape of him vs Penn State ... he has one hell of a bull rush. |

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
Not to mention with the NASCAR packages you often see three (or more) true DE's on the field at the same time.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
In my opinion the lack of pressure after both Davenport and Rankins went down contributed more to the big plays down field than any breakdowns in the secondary. Even the best of DB's have a problem staying with a good receiver 30-40 yards down field if the QB has time to make the throw. Having more quality depth all across the defensive line is needed.
