DE Caden Curry (National Champion)

They are the best defense..you don’t need to take the shine of Caden to hype others. Caden is moving up draft boards which is not about Stats. They all can and will eat. That was stupid nut not as stupid as saying Downs had a poor game.As many did.

It’s been great seeing Caden’s production.

Not pouring water on his stats, but he’s really taking advantage of the job he’s being given and the special play of others around him.

It’d be unfair not to point out the sacrifice, say someone like Kenyatta Jackson makes (in containing an end and acting as a de facto spy) while Caden gets the green light to crash from the end.

Caden has finished the job multiple times this year while the scheme has forced the QB to hold the ball too long or the pocket has collapsed into him.

I’m seeing some stats comparing him to the Bosa’s or Chase Young and it’s just not apples to apples IMO. Those guys wrecked OT’s and were so explosive off the ball. Caden is having a great year, but I’d also give the scheme and players around him (Kenyatta, Arvell, Sonny, Macdonald, etc) a lot of credit.

So, maybe a better comparison is Sam Hubbard?

100. Curry is making plays bc hes that talented not because hes simply in right place right time.
