In this series, I’ll be analyzing different collegiate prospects that play a specific position, beginning with today’s selected position- the EDGE rusher- that could be drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, beginning on April 27th.

With the glaring need at EDGE Rusher that hasn’t been filled yet, could the New Orleans Saints look to one of these prospects as their future? There are several prospects in this year’s EDGE class worthy of a first round pick. Needless to say, the potential is there. But which of these EDGE Rushers get drafted in the first round is another story.

Note: This is a continuing series recently started on my former blog.

The first prospect I take a look at features a lot beyond his interesting first name.
