The EDGE class in the 2021 NFL Draft is an interesting one. Each of the potential top pass rushing prospects brings something different to the table.
In the case of Joseph Ossai of Texas, those traits are explosive athleticism and uncommon versatility. Ossai was able play multiple positions at Texas and truly threaten offensive tackles with his speed from a variety of alignments. That versatility should be an asset in a modern NFL defense which makes use of a variety of fronts to match up with high-octane offenses. But the question has to be asked whether he wore too many hats for the Texas defense and whether he would be better served by concentrating on one job.
