6'8 280, runs a 4.7 40, has the junior world record in discus throw, strong as hell. Very raw. Moves here from Estonia on track and field scholarship to SMU in 08. But when they dropped all track and field scholarships he tried out for the football team, made it as walk-on, got scholarship in 09, and was starting DE in 2010. Prior to 2009, the only semblence of football he had any inkling of was playing Madden on Xbox.

But 4.7 40 at 6'8 280 is insane. Dude is an athletic freak of nature. Possible JJ Watt 2.0 after some professional coaching. He was projected for third or fourth round at one point, but then he got 2.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles in the SMU/Hawaii bowl game and he's going to probably light up the combine, so he'll certainly move up. Hopefully not too far though.

I would die to get a top RB at 30 and this guy with our second pick at 60.

Don't worry, he's on my list to do a write up about. In my mock draft, I actually had us taking him in the 2nd round, though I've got a feeling he's gonna end up as a first rounder after the combine and his pro day.
