He's terrific at rushing the passer, can provide great run support, and constantly flies around the secondary to create huge stops.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm most impressed with Osborne's pass rush. He's so explosive off the line of scrimmage, thrives off his speed and quickness, and consistently leaves OTs in the dust to pressure and take down the quarterback.
