Grady Jarrett DT Clemson


gettlemanjack

Recommended Posts

big (6-1/304), strong (225 Lb. Bench Reps: 33) DT from Clemson with a 10 yard dash time of:

1.68 - Aldon Smith All-Pro

1.69 - Grady Jarrett <---------------

1.70 - DeMarcus Ware All-Pro

Jarrett's performance at Clemson:

2014: 12 QB pressures, 10 TFL, 73 tackles (1st Team All-ACC)

2013: 14 QB pressures, 11 TFL, 83 tackles

2012: 10 QB pressures, 8.5 TFL, 49 tackles

Matt Miller:

"One player moving way up the board is defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. When watching MLB Stephone Anthony, I couldn't get over how consistently clean his paths to the ball were. That's something you make a note of and check out later. When it was time to watch the defensive tackles, Jarrett stood out as the reason for all those clean paths to the football for the middle linebacker. He's able to eat blocks but has the quickness to penetrate and give chase. As a three-year starter at nose tackle, he's valuable to what the NFL wants as a 0 or 1-technique lineman."

I looked at all of the potential first-round nose tackles to see

who would fit the Patriots best. Check it out:

...

"Grady Jarrett is this year’s best athlete among potential nose tackles, and he’s not just a workout warrior. He has incredible burst off the line of scrimmage and can completely overpower opposing offensive linemen using his speed and power. He mostly played one-technique nose tackle for Clemson and was extremely disruptive, often finding himself in the backfield. ... Clemson ranked fifth in the nation in run defense, allowing just 103.4 yards per game and 2.97 yards per rush, and that was thanks to Jarrett’s stout play in the middle of their defensive line."

Jarrett is about 15-20 lbs lighter than the NFL standard for NT's and maybe a little short. I wonder how much that would factor into Gettlemans evaluation. He seems to be really big on getting guys with the right measurables?

Really good player though. I think he'd do well here.

Seeing many project Grady Jarrett to 1T/NT in the NFL. He

played it at Clemson, but Grady thinks he'll move to 3T

like former NFL DE Stephen White wrote the other day, you have to take the size teams list their players at with a grain of salt (he was like trust me, ours lied all the time), but Panthers.com and NFL.com list our 4-man DT rotation as:

6-2/330 - Colin Cole (6-2/309 at Combine)

6-2/320 - Star Lotulelei (6-2/311 at Combine)

6-3/315 - Kawann Short (6-3/299 at Combine)

6-3/305 - Dwan Edwards (6-3/313 at Combine)

??? - Grady Jarrett (6-1/304 at Combine)

225-pound Bench Reps before Draft:

38 - Star

(33 - Grady Jarrett)

29 - KK

26 - Colin Cole

25 - Dwan

Best case: Grady could replace either 1-tech Cole or 3-tech Dwan. Worst case, Garrett could replace just Dwan, who is turning 34 years old in May. And being that Star's strength is vs the run, we could put KK and Grady at DT on passing downs

As a Clemson fan who has watched all 50 odd games of Grady's career let me say who ever drafts him is getting one hell of a leader not just a great player. He's ever bit as good as Aaron Donald. I have yet to see a OL handle him or control him. Father is Jessie Tuggle uncle is Ray Lewis so incredible genes. 4time state champion wrestler in high school. If we picked him in 2nd I'd do a happy dance kid is legit.

The Sports Illustrated analysts are calling him the next Geno Atkins:

"Many will project Jarrett as only a nose tackle in a four-man base front because of his size, but this is an era in which defensive coordinators are forced to think outside the box with their personnel, and it's possible that Jarrett could provide extra dividends for such a coach—as a pass-rushing outside tackle ... Like Jarrett, Geno Atkins was an undersized player out of college who some teams didn't know how to project, but he became a superstar with the Bengals because the coaching staff understood how to unleash him on opposing offensive lines with the right complementary players around him. Jarrett appears to have the raw tools to make a similar impact. Pro Comparison: Geno Atkins, Bengals (4th round, 2010)"

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
