Ed Oliver All Day, Every Day 2018

What he has done this year is absolutely insane with the number of double and triple teams he sees.

Ed isn’t injured so I would be surprised if he is thinking about bagging the rest of the season to fully recover and be ready for pro scout evaluations, etc. in the later winter.

Plus, judging from some of his comments on Twitter, he knows he needs to get his sack numbers up.

That may be a personal goal of his but I don’t think NFL scouts are worried about it. He did have 5 TFLs vs ECU, I think. That’s quite studly for a DT who gets doubled and triple teamed all the time.

Oh, I agree. NFL scouts don’t care. But it seems to bother him that people are saying he’s not dominant because his sack numbers are down. I think he just uses it as fuel for the fire.

I was also expecting a good deal of hype around EO from our athletic department this year as well. It’s an outside shot IMO, but it would be nice to see him at least invited to NYC.

Oliver is somewhat polarizing in NFL scouting circles. Everyone agrees he is a great player, but some don’t view him as a top-10 talent. I’m still a believer. – DJ

I saw Ed not as high as before on several online outlets recently.

But the main NFL guru Kiper still has EO in his top 2 defensive prospects for the draft.

Kiper is silly. How many Nick Bosa’s have we seen at DE? Plenty.
How many Ed Olivers have we seen at DT? One maybe two.

Wow, that is ridiculous to think that he is not a top ten talent. Obviously they have never watched him play nor have they watched our defense when he is not playing.

NFL scouts are strange beasts.
