.... JJ Watt. A write-up featuring quotes from NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah who spent 9 years as an NFL scout. Solly appears to be one of the hottest, fasting rising names in the draft.
Jeremiah is NOT comparing Solly to JJ based on size. They're nothing alike phyically. The comparison is about where they are/were in development. They say JJ didn't really become the monster until mid-way in his rookie year. They think Solly is the same way.... that he's coming along but his best ball is clearly ahead of him.
It's a fun read.

Oh, and I'm sure you saw the Tweet in another thread from NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. He does the evaluations on possible draft picks, and says he's hearing that Solly could go top-10, maybe even top-5. Nice....
