Traits and style, who is this kid most projected to be like?

A younger Von Miller?
Micah Parsons?

Looks like they could line him up all over...

Great piece of clay for Flores, he might not want to leave lol!

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I don't know if it was the glasses he was wearing last night, but that was my first thought as well.  Ran a 4.4 at 6'3 and 250+ pounds and that speed and strength shows up on tape.

I think Von Miller or Parsons are apt comparisons.

Danielle Hunter...along with some rumors of medical red flags. Hopefully, it's nothing

Yes, I had heard he projects as a Von Miller-type as well.
I know that there's always negatives and opinions, but I think KOC and BFlores have some of the best first-round talent in the new regime's history. Good job this year Kwesi...I think you may have redeemed yourself.

Brian Burns is a comp I saw. Will Anderson thinks he can be better then him(Anderson) which is pretty remarkable.

New Vikings edge rusher Dallas Turner was the biggest steal of the draft, per the ESPN NFL Draft Predictor, which factors in expert mock drafts, Scouts Inc. grades and team needs. There was a 3% chance Turner would be available at No. 17.

It's amazing how similar these guys are. All three incredible physical specimens. Miller and Parsons are perennial All Pros and Turner still has to prove he can play in the NFL. But if these numbers are any indication, I like his chances.

Size: 
Parsons 6-3, 246
Miller 6-3, 246
Turner 6-3, 247

40:
Parsons 4.39 (Pro Day only, use salt)
Miller 4.53
Turner 4.46

10-yard (get off)
Parsons 1.59
Miller 1.57
Turner 1.54

Arms:
Parsons 31.5"
Miller 33.5"
Turner 34.5"

Vertical:
Parsons 34"
Miller 37"
Turner 40.5

Bench:
Parsons 19
Miller 21
Turner 20

I think some fans don't understand what a physical freak Turner is. I think KAM was in shock.
