The disruption that he is capable of will come from a different source as he is occupying blockers, and frustration will destroy the confidence of the opposition as they try to find a way to move the ball. Yes, he will be hard to block and he will add incredible value to one of the nation's best defenses.
GO DAWGS!

Looking forward to some destruction…
