Late rounders rarely do much in the NFL but it’s still fun to look for that sleeper pick. I think the networks spend way too much time on players we already know everything about so why don’t way we pool our resources and see who we can come up with?
Let’s try and not make it just throwing names out there, do a little work on the player.
I have a lot of players I like but I’ll start it off with this guy I just stumbled upon;
Zach Sieler
Defensive End
Ferris State (Michigan)
6’5”, 290lbs
4.91 40 time
“This fall, Sieler set new school records with 29.5 tackles for loss (-164 yards) and 19.5 sacks (-138 yards). He ranked among the nation's top five players in both categories and led the GLIAC while also ranking as FSU's third-leading tackler with a personal career-high 80 stops, including 37 solo hits. Sieler added a team-high five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, a blocked kick and a pass breakup while starting all 15 games.”
Albeit against a lower level of competition but he was an absolute wrecking ball. Lining up outside and inside he is virtually impossible to block one on one.
Quick off the snap with varied moves to keep linemen guessing. He displays a very quick swim move, can speed rush, split double teams and press the outside shoulder to set up an occasional spin move.
Great instincts and seems to sniff out plays before the snap. Insane agility for someone his size.
The highlight video (I can’t find much else) is incredibly impressive. The first half is mostly him killing QB’s but around 4:00 there is a lot of running plays where he shows the ability to find the ball against the Read Option and anchor against the double team. Around 4:20 he basically tackles the ballcarrier with the Offensive Tackle.
Probably fits best as a 3-4 end but he could there is a heck of lot of potential inside in a 4-3.
