When I watched Boye Mafe, the edge rusher out of Minnesota, I came away with one thought: If he fixed this one thing, he could be a really good pass rusher. He would be more consistent. He would penetrate easier into the backfield, and he could use his 4.5 speed to attack the quarterback on any given snap. That one thing is how he starts each play.
In this video, I broke down Boye Mafe’s skill set and his overall fit with the Seattle Seahawks. I think his pass rushing upside is why he was a great pick in the second round.

As a side note, if you haven’t watched my interview with Coach Ed McGilvra, who was Boye Mafe’s pass rush coach this off-season, I highly recommend it as well.
