One player I never got to during the draft process, because he wasn’t 1 of the 18 edge defenders ranked among the top-100 prospects on the consensus draft board, was Texas edge defender Barryn Sorrell. Sorrell was the 21st-ranked edge defender in the class on consensus, behind the likes of Ole Miss’ Jared Ivey — who went undrafted, so I just missed out on studying him.
Sorrell first started to seriously appear on my radar when fellow Green Bay Packers writer Ross Uglem, the week of the draft, began to tweet out clips of Sorrell’s film.
