Ryan Kerrigan's powerful build and relentless motor are ideal for a one-gap 3-4 outside linebacker seeking disruptive edge rushers.
Year 1 Starter, 10+ sack ceiling as a high-motor designated pass rusher.
A Fangio two-high scheme that emphasizes coverage drops over a primary pass rush role would diminish his impact.
His blend of size, speed, and consistent effort makes him a versatile and potentially dominant edge defender in a pass-rush heavy system.
Selected #16 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Washington Redskins out of Purdue.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
