Not too shabby! The first four all play on offense; he is fifth amongst all rookies. His QB pressure rate is more than double the league average.

Well he has frozen chicken hands and can't tackle. Hope he thaws them out.

When chasing down mobile quarterbacks he needs to take better angle. He coulda had a few more sacks and pressures. Once he learns that I see him being a premier edge rusher. Along with Young they could make up one of the pass edge duos over the next few years. Question is, how long will it take him to figure out the difference between college and the NFL?

Hes on a good trajectory. Id like to see where Aaron Donald was at at that point during his rookie season. During his rookie year.

He makes explosive plays. He will get the tackling.

We got a great edge rusher.

That’s gotta be a great defensive line

Verse Fiske Kolby Turner Byron Young.

This unit should be one of the top in the league.

Donald didn't miss his 11th tackle until his 4th year, 50th game. So there's that.

I will say Purdy deserves more credit for his escape-ability than i've been willing to give him...

I think we saw a little lull from Verse last week as he is working on converting his insane speed and power to gathering control as he reaches the contact point. I expect this to keep improving. He seems to be trying to find a way to keep his power explosion and power while getting himself in the best positions/angles to close and finish. It will come; sooner rather than later.

I won't. It may be true, but it won't be me giving him credit.
