Each day leading up to the official start of the NFL football season, I will be providing you with player rankings, team previews, analysis, predictions, opinions and a whole lot more.
What I look for in a 3-4 Defensive End:
Strength- Maintaining position in the running lanes, neutralize blocks and hold ground, playing with leverage and splitting double teams.
Quickness- Having quick feet for slants and twists to shoot the gaps and create penetration.
Toughness- Playing with a mean streak and getting back up each and every play undeterred when being double teamed and beaten up for most of the game.
