I’ve had quite a strange journey on Ryan Kerrigan over the three plus months of draft prep. At first he was immediately a very interesting prospect but as I heard more and more it appeared that a lot of people thought he was better suited for a 4-3.
But then he had a combine where he looked better and more agile in space than people had thought, and now I’m reading things about how he doesn’t have the ability to anchor from a 4-3 defensive end position in the run game and is better suited for a 3-4.
Who knows what is true, this is all I can say. This guy has the size. He can get after the quarterback. He seems the most level headed of any of the OLB prospects I’ve heard talk. And lastly, and most importantly, he wears a headband like Tom Brady does.
Consider me back on the Kerrigan bandwagon, I’d love to see him end up on the Pats. If he ends up being a bust it won’t be due to lack of effort.
