He may end up having similar production but his skills are upside are quite a bit different. I like Pace/Jenkins but they are/were limited in the sense of the type of athleticism and quick twitch that Zuniga brings. If Zuniga can get the head part of the game right he can be an all-pro level pass rusher. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zuniga can get the head part of the game right he can be an all-pro level pass rusher. Agree....my first thought is he’s exactly the type of edge rusher we need(explosive, quick-twitch, excellent bend, high end athleticism) which is the opposite of Jenkins(Strong, willing, technically sound, high motor) and that’s not to denigrate JJ. I think JZ is the perfect complement to Jenkins if he works out and can stay healthy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the Pace comparison is more along the lines of what I think he can/will become (8-10 sacks, maybe more in a good year, and stout against the run) and less about the potential given his traits. His athletic ability obviously gives him a higher ceiling if he puts it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Pace was a solid player but slow as molasses. If you watch this kid, he is NOTHING like Pace. He explodes into the backfield. I don't know what kind of production he is going to have, but other than having perhaps a similar build, he is a much more explosive athlete than Pace. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiemonstaman Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 He is the second best pass rusher in draft after young. He plays just as violent maybe a bit raw tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Pace was a three down starter in a two gap 34. Even if he can stay healthy, I don't see Zuniga as a three down player. He'll probably be used as a situational pass rusher on clear passing downs when they go into a one gap 43. Much the same way New England used Chandler Jones. Similar players although Chandler was about an inch taller than Zuniga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Dee Ford couldn't stop the run collegiately and is even worse in the pros and is exclusively a 3-4 OLB, which is why the Chiefs got rid of him ASAP when they made the switch. This comparison is by no means a compliment as Zuniga isn't a one trick pony. Then again he's no pass rush demon, however he was use as interior pass rusher in passing situations which decrease his edge rushing attempts. A better comparison would be Everson Griffen, who was a 4th rounder out of USC. 6'3, 273 lbs, 4.66 in the 40, 32 reps in the bench press. Both guys as prospect were super athletic but pass rushing production lefted more to be desired. Both nearly elite vs the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Zuniga projects as a 4-3 DE and I expect he’ll be just in Rush sub packages Hes explosive and twitchy, not great bend but has enough explosion and speed to be our best pass rusher since Abraham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Rob Rang of SI Like Fotu, if not for an ankle injury zapping most of Zuniga's senior season, we might be talking about a first round pick as the flashes are bright. Compactly built at 6-3, 264 pounds, Zuniga is a coiled-up stick of dynamite, challenging blockers with speed and power, alike, in a way that suggests he should be able to continue playing up and down the defensive line, just as he did at Florida. His rare athletic traits were on full display at the Combine, where he was clocked at 4.64 seconds in the 40-yard dash, had a 33" vertical and lifted the bar 29 times – impressive weight-room power for a player who only took up football as a high school senior. At least from a tools perspective, Zuniga reminds me a bit of a young Everson Griffen, with Pro Bowl upside of his own. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
