Lol
He’s got that same goofy shot put thing going on sometimes when throwing on the run to the right that they said is no good about Barrett.
He get’s it out of there, accurate. I’m pretty sure he is only reading half the field. His feet do odd stuff every once in a while, but it sure doesn’t bother his accuracy.

So, you see 6’7″ 245 lbs. at age 16, and you want to think Tackle. But damn if the big Dutch kid doesn’t look like a real nice DE. He forgets he has hands sometimes but he’s real supple, sinks his hips, can run more than just a little and he changes direction real smoothly.
When I see a DE with these kind of dimensions I always think Pat Massey, who I think would still be in the league had Lloyd just moved him to Tackle. But I think that this kid has a chance to stick at DE.
I’ll say this again too, we would have had some more wins had Lloyd not got mad at Pierre Wood.

Yeah, I agree. It will be interesting to see how he develops.
