Ron Rivera is on the West Coast for a few days. Would expect

him to chat w/prospects at UCLA, USC, Washington.

HC Rivera lunching with UCLA DL Owamagbe Odighizuwa at FreshCornGrill in Westwood right now.

"man does Godzilla wreak havoc on offensive tackles in this episode of the film room."

Owa's USC game is impressive, think he'd be a great 4-3 LDE.

STRENGTHS: Provides consistent disruption from right defensive end position. Scouts love pass rushers with long arms and the 6-foot-3, 270-pound Odighizuwa has that trait, despite limited sack numbers. Combination of burst and power to beat tackles to the outside, and has shown good balance and agility to spin back inside.

 

In the Bruins' versatile 3-4 base defense, his main responsibility is to seal the edge and play the run, using his length and power to occupy blockers to help plug run lanes and give the other rushers a chance to disrupt the pocket.

 

On some passing downs, Odighizuwa does stand up as an edge rusher and has a chance to show off his skill-set as a pass rush threat, using his natural bend and athleticism to beat blockers in space.

 

Can beat tackles inside with good initial quickness and a powerful bull rush. When moving inside, quickly slips past guards to pressure the backfield.

 

WEAKNESSES: Two surgeries on his hip that required sitting out the 2013 season will require thorough medical checks. Pass rush arsenal is still a work in progress. Lacks the explosive burst off the edge or nifty change of direction expected of a first-round pick.

 

COMPARES TO: Everson Griffen, Minnesota Vikings -- Like his former cross-town rival, Odighizuwa is an extraordinary athlete with a muscle-packed frame, an explosive first step and the power to hold up in the running game. Griffen dropped to the fourth round due to questions about his consistency at Southern Cal. Odighizuwa's concerns are medically-based, though if teams red flag him, he could see a similar slip on draft day.

 

 

Would love to get him in the 2nd or 3rd if he falls kind of like Ealy or Griffen as that up there suggests could happen. Not sure I want to pull the trigger in the 1st, but I can't say I'd hate it.

"Odighizuwa is considered to be a physical freak, with a strong showing at the combine ... He was the top performer in the vertical and broad jumps. His 39 inch vertical is two inches more than J.J. Watt posted in his combine in 2011....“Diggy” can do a lot for a team. ... [at UCLA] you’ll see Diggy line up as a 3-4 OLB, a 4-3 DE, and sometimes a stand up linebacker"

Two hip surgeries?  That's not good.

 

I'd much rather have an OT or WR at #25, but hey, if the guy checks out medically and the Robert Quinn comparison is legit, bring him on in!

 

Plus it'd be fun to see how many different ways his name gets spelled on here.

“Owamagbe Odighizuwa (oh-wah-MAH-bay oh-DIG- ee-zoo-wah) — or as the kids these days call him, “Diggy” — fits the mold of a true 4-3 defensive end, showing the size and power to hold up against the run, and the technique to get after the quarterback.”

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
