3. Clelin Ferrell, Clemson
A member of Clemson’s ridiculous defensive line, Ferrell controls the point of attack in the ground game and can change angles to squeeze gaps or widen the edge against outside plays. He doesn’t mind burying his shoulder into a pulling guard either to mess plays up.
If you want to see where Ferrell is at this stage of his development as a pass rusher, watch his 2017 Auburn tape. He couldn’t really get going early on, but then all of a sudden he gets a great jump off the snap, performs an excellent chop-rip and then flattens to the quarterback for a strip-sack. That’s when he looks like one of the elite players in the country and he won with multiple moves after that as well.
But for every one of those, there’s a couple where he ends up standing straight across the offensive tackle. Ferrell’s snap anticipation puts tackles at a disadvantage at times already, but I want to see wasted movement on those hesitation moves and more refined technique out of him.
