Yep. I agree. And as such, any decent team like Ryle will have their offense designed to keep him at bay, and will have two linemen assigned to block him on 75% of the time. I've watched a lot of football over the years, and I've seen quite a few D1 defensive linemen play. I'm yet to truly see any one of them be in a decent team's offensive backfield "every play", and more often than not the noise that those players make is frequently in their ability to break up plays on account of keeping other defensive men un-blocked. Paulson is averaging 3 solo tackles and 3 assisted tackles per game thus far this year. Surely he would have more tackles than that if he was in a team's offensive backfield "every play", right?

 

He plays end he gets outside and forces the qb to run.

The best football player IMO is Jr DE/TE Kam Butler. I'm guessing he's in the 6'2 230 range.

 

I agree. If we are looking to the next level, where does he fit? Does he have the speed to play LB?
