Trust the tape, not the underwear fashion show... From NFL Scouting Service... The size and production should force all evaluators to dial their focus in on what he's best at rather than any perceived areas of concern. He has average instincts against the run and is a step slow to shed, but he's strong at the point and he does his job. (He) won't just out-run tackles to the edge, but he's a skilled rusher whose diversity of attack, skilled hands and unique bull-rushing instincts could help him deliver his college sack production in the pros. He can play end in a 4-3 or 3-4 and could leap from good to great with additional work on technique and explosiveness. DE Cam Jordan, Cal; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 287 lbs.; 40 - 4.78 sec; Vertical - 31"; Broad Jump - 117" DE A. J. Epenesa, Iowa; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 275 lbs. 40 - 5.04 sec; Vertical - 32.5"; Broad Jump - 117" I'm not worried about the 40 - that's long speed and I don't want him chasing people down from behind; burst with power - that's in the Vertical and Broad Jump - that's what matters... And then of course, there's the production... (From NFL.com Epenesa was a three-time high school All-American and first-team All-State pick in football (wearing jersey No. 99 to emulate J.J. Watt), scored over 1,000 career points in basketball and won back-to-back state discus throw titles. Hawkeyes coaches put their highly regarded recruit in the rotation as a true freshman, and he recorded 15 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks in 13 games. Epenesa did not start any games in his sophomore season, either, behind veterans Parker Hesse and Anthony Nelson. He still garnered second-team All-Big Ten honors, though, by leading the Big Ten with 10.5 sacks and topping Iowa's defense with 16.5 tackles for loss (among 37 total) and four forced fumbles. As a junior, Epenesa came on strong at the end of the year, receiving second-team Associated Press All-American and first-team all-conference accolades with 49 tackles, 14.5 for loss, and 11.5 sacks along with four forced fumbles in 13 starts. And the film (see highlights)... This shows him as a Freshman, Sophmore, more This is his 2019 Season along... I'd also add that he has the versatility to kick inside to the 3T, as there's some film of this against offensive linemen to be in the NFL... |
