Expert Analysis

Ed OBrien

Ed O'Brien

Unofficially, I have him down for at least four tackles, one tackle for a loss, and two quarterback hurries. He’s an explosive pass rusher and collapsed the pocket multiple times. Elee forced hurried throws, including one on a goal-line stand in the third quarter. This game showed that you have to try to put at least two bodies on him to stop him. 1-on-1? It’s not going to go well for the opponent.

Taking over the #1 spot after being second in last rankings that came out back last spring. Zion looks like the ideal edge defender and has really filled out his frame well over the last years time. He passes every eye test imaginable with his size, length, and athleticism.

A straight menace off the edge, he has elite burst off the snap and plenty of quick twitch that makes it impossible for OTs to get hands on him. He has a lot of moves in his bag and is more than just a straight speed rusher. He puts speed to power and comes with an attitude. Zion can rip through and bend the edge, flattening down the line and closes to the ball with explosiveness. Can play with his hands in the dirt or stand up. He has active hands, can spin or do and out & in back to the inside after forcing the OT to over set. While also possessing the strength to bull rush with power to collapse the pocket. Elee is also more than athletic to set/play the edge and keep the ball carrier from getting around him to the outside.

A prototype Edge defender in today’s game, Zion is a complete player that can win multiple ways with a motor that out last anyone. I expect him to be a problem for offenses for years to come and more than deserving of the #1 overall ranking.

Elee had 64 tackles and 13 sacks on the season, in game he’s constantly putting his attributes on display. The 6’5 225pound edge rusher can beat you with speed, strength and his length. He can set the edge in the run game and collapse the pocket in the pass game. Expect Elee to start to get a buzzing his recruiting, he has good size, and his film keeps you watching.
