Josh Uche

Overall, an incredibly athletic player for his size. Able to fly around and make plays and is extremely fluid when dropping back into coverage. Has the necessary traits you look for in a pass rusher, but lacks refined technique or a plan when getting after the QB. Will often simply engage with the OT and try to bull rush his way through, which won't work at his size. Needs to learn how to stack pass rush moves, but if/when he does, he could be an extremely valuable asset to a defense. Has potential, but also has questions about his best fit in a NFL defense. Could be an EDGE in a 3-4, but could also be a heavier SAM in a 4-3. His draft stock will depend on where NFL teams value him and see him playing at the next level.

Fantasy Impact

Uche missed Week 2 due to an ankle injury and then hurt his foot in practice this week. His rookie season is off to a frustrating start.
