Leonard Floyd Has More Sacks Than These Studs Did As Rookies

Think Hub said he thought he was an ideal 4-3 penetrating DE; and wasn't sure if he'd be strong enough to hold up as a 3-4 DE having to hold onto to blocks instead of shed them. Which appears to fit his nfl scouting report(which said even in a 4-3 he'd have to add mass/functional strength): 

BOTTOM LINE Has the frame to add more functional strength and mass and may need to since his best fit appears to be as a 1­-gapping defensive tackle in an attacking scheme. Bullard can be a very disruptive player off the snap when his pad level is good and he’s an excellent tackler allowing no broken or missed tackles all season. Bullard will need to improve his pass rush and add necessary size, but he is an ascending talent whose game should continue to improve at the next level.

This was from Walter: 

"Player Comparison: Michael Bennett. Bullard's game and skill set remind me of Bennett. Both are able to play end on run downs and move inside in passing situations. Bennett (6-4, 274) is a good pass-rusher with quickness, functional strength, and effort. He is very good at taking on right tackles and guards. I think Bullard could be similar in the NFL.

"Teams really like Bullard as a player, but scheme fit and size concerns could push him into the second round. At 6-foot-3, 285 pounds, sources from 3-4 teams say he lacks the length they like in 3-4 defensive ends. They think they could get away with Bullard there, but it isn't an ideal fit. Teams that run a 4-3 feel Bullard would be an end on run downs and move inside in passing situations. From a variety of teams, scouts say that being a three-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3 could be Bullard's best fit. With those scheme issues, it leads sources to label Bullard as a bit of a tweener. Even contacts on the Gators coaching staff said it was a challenge for a time for them to figure out how best to utilize Bullard. Still, sources said he has very good tape and often makes a play that gets them to say, "Wow!"

So this could be a problem w/the scheme fit and not a problem w/the player.
