Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

Not thinking of any of this as a negative, more just considering how much better he can get and where that will show up.
Depends on what you mean by chaining moves. I watched a clip of him last game where he pushed the tackle into the QB and then used a speed move to finish him off and get the sack. Power to Speed as they say.
There's a couple of good videos out there talking about this very thing. [Reply]

I think you need to watch him more.
He has used a straight bull rush several times and been successful with it. [Reply]
Nate Taylor said in the KCSN pod that you can go ahead and mark Karlaftis down for 7 sacks. That sounds like his baseline which is really good for a rookie [Reply]

In the two games against the Raiders or the entire season? [Reply]
