Daniel Hardy: Montana State converted LB to DE. Only one year as an EDGE. Extremely productive. 6’2 237 lbs. nearly 34 in. arms and 10 in. hands. 77 tackles, 16.5 sacks, 81 pressures (that is phenomenal). Relentless defender. Willing to play ST
Good first step. Elite athlete. Good agility. Able to flatten at the top of the arc really well. Uses his length well to keep his chest clean. Has a nice dip and rip and flashes a swim and spin moves. Able to convert speed to power and redirect to an inside counter.
Has nice closing speed and is able to chase down the ball from the backside. Played with hand in dirt and didn’t see any reps in coverage so I have no eval there. Really wants to get better and succeed. Was a big part of switching positions late in career. Needs to add strength.
Another late round traits specific EDGE like Chris Garrett last year. Excited to see what playing with AD and Floyd and developing for a year can do for him. In an interview his goals were to make the NFL and provide for his family and to uphold the tradition of good rushers
At Montana State. On film he is explosive, relentless, active. Keeps a low pad level. I’d like to see him utilize a long arm stab and counters. Overall a lot of potential to develop at low cost.
Rams drafted him knowing tons of teams were going to be on him as a UDFA
