They Said It

• TKR Film Analyst Alec Simpson: “Del Rio is a prospect that was injured for his senior season, but is someone that has a lot of upside. Listed at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds he brings the length needed for an outside linebacker in the Big Ten conference.. When watching his junior tape, his instincts are evident right away. He is able to dissect whether it’s a pass or run play pretty quickly and make a play on the ball. Del Rio also brings that edge rushing ability which means he can either play on the line of scrimmage as a pass rusher or be five yards off and drop back in coverage. The style of play in which Del Rio plays with could fit well with what coach Greg Schiano has in store for Rutgers.”
