After missing weigh-ins, BYU DE Ezekiel Ansah measured in at 6'5 and 1/4" with a weight of 274 pounds.
It is very close to Ansah's listed weight at BYU of 6'6/270 pounds. If you are hoping for the next edge rushing, JPP type player, Ansah will not offer those kinds of skills. Instead the inexperienced prospects spent time at rush linebacker, end in a 4-4, end in a 3-4 and at nose tackle. His best skill is his closing speed once creating separation.

You see all those times he covers TEs/backs and drops deep? Oh wait. That never happens. Hes just way too stiff to be anything more than a SAM or a 3-4 ILB.
Just watch the tape against NC State if you want to see him playing DE.
Specifically, if you want to see his entire problem, look at 1:40 into the video. he cant flip his hips and turn, at all. He does a lovely 360 later in the video trying to turn.
Bruce Carter and Zach Brown were some of the most physically gifted players in the country, Red**** not so much.

uhh, 18.5 is more then 16, and Spikes production declined as he stayed at Florida.. Red****s continued to go up, culminating in the 18.5 TFL season.. Also, Florida played a extra game the yr ur talking about compared to Red**** this past season.. Not to mention, Florida just had a much better team then UNC this past season.. Red**** is gonna get drafted by a 4/3 team, i'll almost gurantee it. I think he'd be a perfect fit to play MLB for us.. He sheds blocks well, and is not a total slouch in coverege, and has all the measurables, and played in a 4/3 in college.. Where did u see him playing DE? I just watched a couple video's of his today, and didn't see him play DE at all?
