No he's closest comparison is every DE in the league. People spout off his non p5 vs p5 stats as if it's some shock that he did better against bad teams. Barnett did very well against his conference opponent, which to be fair were probably not as good as Myles'. I'm not knocking Barnett or saying Myles is better. I'm just saying if what Myles did last season is considered overrated for a true freshman in the toughest division in sports, then maybe the definition we are using for overrated is a bit off.

He also played most of his conference games later in the year after it was well documented that he was a freak of nature, and thus faced quite a bit more attention as far as blocking and double teams go. But that's also conveniently ignored

If people double him all year and Daeshon Hall or one of our DTs has a huge year numbers wise people will just use it as more ammo that he's overrated, but whatever

All I hear from Aggies is that "he broke Clowney's Freshman SEC Sack Record" and the fact is that only 3.5 of these sacks came in SEC play.

And now all you can find is excuses for it
