Last offseason, the Canes lost three key pass rushers to the 2021 NFL Draft in EDGE defenders, Jaelan Phillips, Gregory Rousseau, and Quincy Roche. Two of those three (Phillips and Roche) were players the Canes procured through the NCAA Transfer Portal and, thus, it came as no surprise when Miami went back to the portal to replenish the pass rushing pipeline.
Watched Jermaine Johnson vs Bama and saw both why he is so highly regarded and why he wanted out. He’s a natural speed passrusher and will get physical, but the heavy DE rotation probably made it hard to get in a rhythm.
