Marquis Haynes

[ncfan]

A little confused by this pickup

Overview

Slender, productive pass rush specialist who features an outstanding upfield burst, but an alarming lack of anchor. While Haynes could get a trial as an early down 3-4 rush linebacker due to his pass rush potential, he isn't built to handle the physical nature of NFL run games. Haynes is a likely fit for teams looking for a designated pass rusher for sub-packages, but he'll need to become more toolsy and unpredictable as an NFL rusher if he wants to duplicate the success he had in college.

Weaknesses

• Slender build with thin legs
• Has body type of a big safety
• Could be liability against the run on next level
• Not a reliable edge-setter
• Lacks upper body power to punch and post up on tight ends and tackles
• Gets caught laying on blocks
• Doesn't have base to hold up to drive blockers
• Plays upright at times
• Has linear speed but change of direction quickness is just okay for his size
• Unable to convert speed to power as rusher
• Leggy and can't fight through redirect blocks
• Hasn't learned to use hands as weapon in his pass rush

but I hear he has a spin move ?

Another Shaq Thompson clone

There was a post about him awhile back during the turmoil at Ole Miss that he might forgo his eligibility and be a supplemental draft candidate.  At the time, he was seen on future mocks as a late 1st round pick.  Many simply questioned his fit here.

Think he could be converted to a safety ?

He broke Greg Hardy’s school sack record. Dude has a motor and just always seems to be around the QB. Add a little bulk to him and watch him beast out.

I’m thinking he may be a Strong Side LB candidate

[Manther]

In April 2017, Haynes was named Ole Miss' Chucky Mullins Award winner as a defender that embodies the late defensive back's spirit and courage. ...finishing as a second-team All-SEC selection with 45 tackles, 11 for loss, 7.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. Many thought he would be in the NFL after the 2016 season when he led the Rebels with 11 tackles for loss among 53 total stops, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, three passes defended, and eight quarterback pressures. The tall, lean edge rusher with natural bend and hustle was a second-team All-SEC honoree as a sophomore, racking up 43 tackles, 16.5 for loss, 10 sacks, and three forced fumbles. Among Haynes' better performances that season was his four tackles, 2.5 for loss, and half-sack in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State. The Jacksonville native was a Freshman All-American and SEC All-Freshman pick after starting four of 13 games played, posting 31 tackles, nine for loss, 7.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. Haynes actually signed with North Carolina after high school but went the prep school route (Fork Union Military Academy) before going to Oxford.

Kid was originally a UNC commit, could get the grades up to get in and went to Ole miss.

Good edge rusher but Very small fit best woupd be a OLB in a 3-4 

OR

 In a system like Atlanta 

Haynes is Very similar to Vic Beasley in a sense.

Beasley was a DE in college but was 235-240.  And had to play OLB, but Atlanta uses him as a rusher

That's real impressive Old smarty going to well look how Hardy turned out after a two years of seasoning Marty looking  to hit the repeat button.

Grades and UNC is bloody hilarious.

A buffalo nickel sub package substitute? Sounds like a Hurney thing to do
