Yep. I was already impressed by his strength and physicality as a freshman. CanesAreAble has used the Justin Smith comparison, and it is apt in some ways.
Chick isn't a great pass rusher yet and may never be with the added bulk, but he is already a very good football player.
Good to see you are coming around, D. He isnt a speed rusher so I am definitely on board with him adding strength and power. Add that to his ruthlessness and you have a player.
Even though he looks bigger, he still looks lean, and thats even better. He doesnt look all fat in the face like MRob and VT when they started packing on weight.
I'm just starting to accept that our pass rush will come from guys like McCord, Hoillett, Terry and guys like that. With Vernon going pro, there isn't a true every down, hand-in-the-ground pass rusher on the roster. D'Onfrio has got to have some tricks up his sleave.
