. . Yetur Gross-Matos. 1. player. 806.

Shareef Miller might be a bit of a project, but if Philly’s interested in more of a sure thing and investing an early pick on someone who can play well on the edge, Penn State Nittany Lions defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos might be the cure for all that ails them.

That is if the Philly brass isn’t scarred by the lack of production that they got out of his former teammate, Shareef Miller. It sounds crazy, but Miller wouldn’t allow the inconsistencies of Miller to play a role in whether or not they take Gross-Matos, would they?

Gross-Matos is probably the best defensive end in this year’s draft outside of Chase Young, and the 40 total tackles and 9.5 sacks that he put up in 2019 will have NFL scouts buzzing throughout the draft process. That’s if his six-foot-five, 265-pound frame isn’t already enough to make any football fan or defensive coordinator’s mouth water. He’s a first-round pick waiting to happen.
