Kinda surprised ND officially announced these 2 as being signed. I had thought ND would not do this just in case, but apparently not.

Happy we already have two, now I just want Studstill to join them (and any other EE'ers that want to jump on board. DE, LB and S are probably the most important EE positions this spring.

Do you all see Kareem growing into a 3 technique? Or staying in the outside?

I like the Rochell comparisons. I expect him to stay a little smaller than Rochell and be better against the pass but not quite as good against the run. He looks quicker than Rochell and I don't see him at 285, I'd like to see him stay around 270ish. SDE, with the ability to slide inside in certain pass rush packages.

I was going to say that too. He should be a better pass rusher, at least statistically speaking.

He's an EE, yes? Can't come soon enough. Because thread bumps at this point are scary.

He reminds me a bit of Isaac Rochell. A little better of a pass rusher and not as stout, but a similiar SDE type IMO.
I'd love to have another Rochelle...

I really hope we don't get him up to 290+. He's going to be a big boy but that would be too big, IMO. I'd like to see him get and stay around 270ish.


Damn didn't realize KLM was that big

He ended at like 306. That was just his body, a big boy. Would've been a 3T in this D, IMO.

I think KLM was just a hell of a football player. Wonder what he could have done at 250 as a Cat LB...

Very underrated football player by a majority of the fanbase. However, some players bodies just end up bigger. Tuitt was one of the best DE's in the country at 290ish and when he got to 310ish he wasn't. He's still there and playing good ball in the NFL but he's not the same guy. Not much some can do when your body takes over.

We need DE pass rushers. We are extremely thin in this area.

And if the rumors of Grant transferring are true, we are extremely thin on pass rushers. Not run stuffers, pass rushers

Grant was never a pass rusher though.
