You have ever seen? Remember, just based on film. I know it's almost impossible to tell what a player is going to be like just by looking at his film. This guy looks as close to Derrick Thomas as you can get.

The most impressed I have been with a defensive player on film (since the start of the recruiting age of internet sites) is Clowney.

He's definitely near the top. His closing speed and athleticism is just unreal, and he can lay the wood big time.
Clowney had some pretty amazing highlights as well.

His film looks a lot like Trey Blackmon's did, I hope the similarities end there.

I know people compare him to Rolo but he screams Derrick Brooks to me. He is thick like brooks is. He sheds blocks effortlessly, and absolutely unloads at the point of attack. Everything you want in a LB honestly. Under Saban he could be the next Ray Lewis
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

Derrick Brooks is an excellent comparison.

And if you haven't already, go watch the video of J. Allen. The man is nasty. Just NASTY. Picks them up and slams them down. Very excited about Allen.

Those two are tops for me. Jeff Luc's from a couple years ago is pretty close. He would absolutely blow people up

He has the best film that i've seen. Kevin Simon has some sick film as well. If that kid hadn't had like 3 knee surgeries at UTk he would have been a 1st rounder for sure. Foster lives in the backfield and a lot of times hitting the RB as he receives the hand off. The thing I love about RF the most is his anticipation. He reads plays so well that he's always in the play...and when arrives at the play....ohhh LAWD! Grown ass man.

Nkimdeche has impressive film, too.
Chris Donald who played for UT had incredible tape but he didn't pan out.

Kevin Durant is moving up in my favorite All-Time Athletes list. Mama raised him right.
