Before this year, he looked just like another contributor on a sub-par defense. This year, the light came on and he had MUCH better coaching.

To date he has:
47 Tackles
10.5 TFL's for a net of -69 yds.
8 Sacks for a net of -64 yds.
4 QB Hurries
1 Pass Breakup
2 FF's
1 Fumble Recovery

He's 3rd in the SEC for Sacks, 23rd in the nation.
He's 6th in the SEC for TFL's.

If he has 2 more good games, I wouldn't be shocked to seem him get a mid Rd pick. He's already a gifted athlete. He'll run around a 4.65 40 at the combine.

Another great DE in 6 year line of great NFL level DE's at SC.
Clowney
Taylor
Ingram
Robertson
Matthews
Norwood
Geathers

Doubtful. NFL usually doesn't draft situational pass rushers when they can't be on the field on 1st and 2nd down. He still gets blown off the line when teams run at him and that'll be a major no-go for NFL teams

You can thank Lance T for that. English has been one of our most improved players... went from being a nobody to a guy that has a decent shot at the next level.
