Seems like he progressed finally a bit this year. Wonder if he might qualify as an international roster exemption which can sometimes be useful with a late pick you don’t want to lose. Heard the show say he can maybe play inside and outside similar to Dayo and Shemar. Oh, and I’d say he’s a pretty good athlete . . . Report

They were the two All-ACC DTs for this year, so very similar competition, and, admittedly, van der Berg is three years older (24) than Woods (21), but: Woods van der BergHeight 6'2" 6'3"Weight 298 310Arm 31 1/4" 31 1/8"Hand 9 1/8" 9 3/8"Vertical 29" 36"Broad 8'8" 9'11"40 N/A 4.9420 N/A 2.7510 1.67 1.61Shuttle 4.54 4.193-cone 7.70 N/ABench N/A 352025 tackles 30 442025 TFL 3.5 11.02024 sacks 2 3 Report
