A 6’4″, 300-pound defensive tackle who also has the ability to play on offense…yes, please. Nkemdiche is a lot quicker than should be physically possible for a man his size. It is one thing to inflict fear on one side of the ball, but Nkemdiche also comes in at times on offense.
He had his best game of the season on national television in Ole Miss’s win against Alabama where he accounted for six tackles and provided consistent pressure on whoever Alabama put in at quarterback.
Soon, Nkemdiche will be provoking fear on NFL offensive coordinators as he will no doubt be a high draft pick should he choose to enter the 2016 draft. FanSided’s latest mock draft has Nkemdiche going to the Tennessee Titans with the second overall pick.
Despite suffering a concussion a couple of weeks ago playing offense, Nkemdiche wants to continue to play on both sides of the ball. If he has his way, he will continue being very scary on both offense and defense.
