“He’s a ball of energy. He can just flat-out play ball,” defensive end Kevin Wilkins said. “When you see Julius play first, you’ll look at his height. But once you watch him play, height doesn’t matter. I think that’s what the nose guard position is getting to.

"People will say he’s undersized, he’s small, but once you watch him play football, you don’t care about his height anymore. He can flat-out just play ball.”
