Grady Jarrett DT Clemson

[gettlemanjack]

big (6-1/304), strong (225 Lb. Bench Reps: 33) DT from Clemson with a 10 yard dash time of:

1.68 - Aldon Smith All-Pro

1.69 - Grady Jarrett <---------------

1.70 - DeMarcus Ware All-Pro

Jarrett's performance at Clemson:

2014: 12 QB pressures, 10 TFL, 73 tackles (1st Team All-ACC)

2013: 14 QB pressures, 11 TFL, 83 tackles

2012: 10 QB pressures, 8.5 TFL, 49 tackles

Matt Miller:

"One player moving way up the board is defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. When watching MLB Stephone Anthony, I couldn't get over how consistently clean his paths to the ball were. That's something you make a note of and check out later. When it was time to watch the defensive tackles, Jarrett stood out as the reason for all those clean paths to the football for the middle linebacker. He's able to eat blocks but has the quickness to penetrate and give chase. As a three-year starter at nose tackle, he's valuable to what the NFL wants as a 0 or 1-technique lineman."

I moved Grady Jarrett into the first round today. Extremely disruptive

I looked at all of the potential first-round nose tackles to see

who would fit the Patriots best. Check it out:

...

"Grady Jarrett is this year’s best athlete among potential nose tackles, and he’s not just a workout warrior. He has incredible burst off the line of scrimmage and can completely overpower opposing offensive linemen using his speed and power. He mostly played one-technique nose tackle for Clemson and was extremely disruptive, often finding himself in the backfield. ... Clemson ranked fifth in the nation in run defense, allowing just 103.4 yards per game and 2.97 yards per rush, and that was thanks to Jarrett’s stout play in the middle of their defensive line."

Jarrett is about 15-20 lbs lighter than the NFL standard for NT's and maybe a little short. I wonder how much that would factor into Gettlemans evaluation. He seems to be really big on getting guys with the right measurables?

Really good player though. I think he'd do well here.

Seeing many project Grady Jarrett to 1T/NT in the NFL. He

played it at Clemson, but Grady thinks he'll move to 3T

like former NFL DE Stephen White wrote the other day, you have to take the size teams list their players at with a grain of salt (he was like trust me, ours lied all the time), but Panthers.com and NFL.com list our 4-man DT rotation as:

6-2/330 - Colin Cole (6-2/309 at Combine)

6-2/320 - Star Lotulelei (6-2/311 at Combine)

6-3/315 - Kawann Short (6-3/299 at Combine)

6-3/305 - Dwan Edwards (6-3/313 at Combine)

??? - Grady Jarrett (6-1/304 at Combine)

225-pound Bench Reps before Draft:

38 - Star

(33 - Grady Jarrett)

29 - KK

26 - Colin Cole

25 - Dwan

Best case: Grady could replace either 1-tech Cole or 3-tech Dwan. Worst case, Garrett could replace just Dwan, who is turning 34 years old in May. And being that Star's strength is vs the run, we could put KK and Grady at DT on passing downs

As a Clemson fan who has watched all 50 odd games of Grady's career let me say who ever drafts him is getting one hell of a leader not just a great player. He's ever bit as good as Aaron Donald. I have yet to see a OL handle him or control him. Father is Jessie Tuggle uncle is Ray Lewis so incredible genes. 4time state champion wrestler in high school. If we picked him in 2nd I'd do a happy dance kid is legit.

The Sports Illustrated analysts are calling him the next Geno Atkins:

"Many will project Jarrett as only a nose tackle in a four-man base front because of his size, but this is an era in which defensive coordinators are forced to think outside the box with their personnel, and it's possible that Jarrett could provide extra dividends for such a coach—as a pass-rushing outside tackle ... Like Jarrett, Geno Atkins was an undersized player out of college who some teams didn't know how to project, but he became a superstar with the Bengals because the coaching staff understood how to unleash him on opposing offensive lines with the right complementary players around him. Jarrett appears to have the raw tools to make a similar impact. Pro Comparison: Geno Atkins, Bengals (4th round, 2010)"

note PFF lists Geno Atkins, Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy as the Prototypes for the 3-Tech spot (4-3 Pass Rush DT)

I keep hearing and when I watched him - unblockable. He should go in the first. He's a force that needs to be doubled-teamed.

A young kris jenkins is what I've seen.

per the 2014 PFF stats on Interior Defenders

Grady is:

#2 in run stop percentage vs Power 5 opponents

#3 in run stop percentage

#4 in Pass Rushing Productivity vs Power 5 opponents

If I'm the Lions, I'm looking at Grady Jarrett before I look at

Eddie Goldman in the first round.
