An incredibly deep stable of interior linemen should help the Rebels reload their defensive front, which also includes one of the conference’s best edge rushers.
For all the pre-draft grumbling about his inconsistent motor, Robert Nkemdiche was a scheme-wrecking monster capable of upending an offense’s game plan with his mere presence on the field. Ole Miss (and most of the other schools in the country, for that matter) might never have another player with his raw physical ability.
Which admittedly casts suspicion on the suggestion that the Rebels’ defensive line could be even better four months after Big Rob’s first-round NFL Draft selection (particularly when you consider that Ole Miss also lost starting nose tackle Woodrow Hamilton).
