What is your analysis of Steve Fifita? Is he the best, or one of the best UDFA we signed?

I am hoping he pans out. If there is one position on the dl were he could get away with his height it would be at NT. He sounds like a human tree stump, which is exactly what is needed. OL men will be able to see over him however to see where linebackers are moving, but that will be a mute point if they can not move him. We shall see how strong he is.Ohiophinphan said:I'll let the experts answer but my two cents suggests Fifita could well be a real steal. Riggs was the highest rated UDFA we signed according to most draft books for whatever that's worth.
Fifita is marked down only because he is short, 5'-11". He led Utah in sacks from the NT spot which is unheard of! I look forward to seeing him in camp. The comparison that jumps to mind is Zack Thomas, someone whose measurables are wrong but is a real player. Hopefully we will be just as lucky!

If you go to the "Search This Forum" drop box at the top right of the forum and then go to Advanced Search, you can fill in the name of the poster whose posts you want to search for, and use search criteria like "Steven Fifita"
A quick search for my posts on Fifita turns up three threads...

Although the final thread is the Ask Boomer thread and has like...a ton of pages in it to search through. Once you get inside the the thread though, there's another "Search This Thread" box at the top and you can just type in "Fifita" and it will bring up the posts about him.
Boomer and I cover a lot of ground on this forum. Usually when you want to know our feelings about a player, chances are we've already laid something out about him. Searching through would be a quicker method to answer your question I think than posting a thread and waiting for us to notice it.
Human tree stump is right. With his height and weight, along with a 460 bench, and nearly 700 squat, good luck trying to get any leverage on this guy.Lee2000 said:I am hoping he pans out.
