From SI
Tearrius George Grade: 2.61
Position: DE
Class: Sr
School: Kansas State
Conference: Big Twelve
Ht., Wt.: 6-3, 248
40 Time: 4.89
Grading System
BIO: Junior college transfer who played with the first team the past two seasons. Senior totals included 27/6/4 after 21/6/3 the prior year.
POSITIVES: Speedy pass-rusher who can be a disruptive force. Fast off the edge and plays with a good degree of quickness. Keeps his pads low to the ground, gets leverage on opponents and drives up the field on contact.
NEGATIVES: Lacks a physical nature to his game and not always willing to jump into the pile. Slow shedding blocks and displays marginal hand technique protecting himself.
ANALYSIS: Flashing skill at defensive end, George must improve the details of his game to have any chance at the next level.
PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
