Surprised there's not really any mention of this.
I think this is a GREAT signing. He is somebody I, and others, were absolutely raving for to sign in a late round of the draft or a priority UDFA.
His test scores might literally give him the best DT measurables of all time. He is an insane athlete and very productive in D2. Yes they're just measurables and don't translate into performance, but we're talking about measurables that make even Suh, Donald, and McCoy look like scrubs.
I am so stoked we got this guy, I was pumping his name for weeks around the draft last may.
From the article:
"Zimmer's amazing results included a 4.85 40-Yard Dash, a 33.5-inch Vertical Jump, a 7.01 3-Cone Drill and a 9-foot-9 Broad Jump. To top it all off, he also recorded a beastly 44 reps on the Bench Press."
"On a 1-to-10 scale, a grade of 5 indicates a prospect with "average" athleticism and a grade of 10 indicates the most athletic prospect at the position. Zimmer's RAS score ranks ahead of every defensive tackle prospect from the past 10 years, including current NFL stars Ndamukong Suh, Aaron Donald and Gerald McCoy"
"It might be tempting to categorize Zimmer as a workout warrior, but his on-field numbers were also incredibly impressive. Last season, he led his team in tackles (81), sacks (13), tackles for loss (26) and forced fumbles (four)."

Awesome PS candidate to me. Glad we got some good news in this horrible season
