First off, I know there is an adjustment period in the NFL at edge. I'm not saying he won't work out and I'm not saying he was a bad pick per se. I root like hell for him and always will if there's a Seahawk on his helmet.
But..
I really fell in love with his character, his family, and his story in the post draft hype. Maybe I had overly high expectations. That said he was pick #37 in the entire draft. That's damn near first round.
So far, his year to date 2023 production has been.
26 Tackles
0 Sacks
0 Forced Fumbles
0 Int's
Now, I love football as much as any but know it far less than many. My perspective is this is very underwhelming and dare I say disappointing. I was hoping for more.
Is this a fair take or do I just not understand the schemes, playing time, and adaptation required to click in the league? Is everyone here fine for with his progression/ contribution or am I just an outlier unable to see the full picture?
