The knock on this kid is that he played against sub par competition in the MAC conference. That's a legit concern and I'll allow it. He does need to add some strength in his upper body and thighs. What I notice is his footwork and balance, two key characteristics for a DT. They need to be able to shift weight quickly to avoid getting shoved around by a fat o-lineman. He had 70 tackles, 9 sacks and 13 tackles for loss (run plays) during his Junior (2010) season. The tackles for loss is way above average. I'll look for him to do exactly the opposite of what Rex Ryan did last off season and GAIN some weight in addition to NOT hiding snacks in his camp dormitory.
The Jets' 3rd round pick, 94th overall, is Kenrick Ellis, the a DT from Hampton, who is MASSIVE in both height and weight at 6’5″, 346 pounds.
If you like Akon then you must of really liked this video. If you're also a Hampton alum then you must of LOVED this video. Kenrick spent time at South Carolina before transferring to Hampton. The knock on this kid is that he is a trouble maker and got in trouble with drugs. As long as he isn't shooting heroin or selling crack then I really don't give a shit what he does when hes 19 years old. I watched him get interviewed and he seems to like the attention and the spotlight. Rex will be able to use this to motivate him and harness his size. I think that he will play the interior of the 3 guys up front while Wilkerson plays the left or right side. I see them both as starters by their sophomore campaigns.
