Saints signing Kentavious Street
This could be a sneaky good signing for a nickel interior rusher or DE/DT tweener. Not sure what the new protypes are at either position but he doesn’t fit recent draft prospects at either position.
Still check his.
1. DL Kentavius Street, NC State:Bradley Chubb is the Wolfpack D-lineman that will get most of the attention in Indy—and he is a special talent bound for the first round—but Street is the biggest Freak. Street is expected to weigh in at 6'2" and around 285 pounds, and don’t be surprised if he’s clocked in the 4.5s in the 40-yard dash. At 281 pounds last year, he ran an electronically timed 4.58, vertical jumped 40 inches, benched 475 pounds and squatted 700. He’s also the most flexible guy in the NC State program according to strength coach Dantonio Burnette. “It’s almost like a big receiver,” says Yo Murphy, a former NFL wideout who has helped train Street for the combine over the past two months. “He can stay in the drive phase so long.”
He’s an ascending talent that has athleticism to tap into under a coach who’s been excellent at developing players. Draft wasn’t deep at penetrating DTs this year anyhow.
