Welcome DL Tuli Tuipulotu, USC (Round 2 #54)

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Suggs did get 24 sacks in one season in college.

The guy was a 'Football Player'-- he just made plays, without ideal size, speed or athleticism. He was built to play the sport.

[AK47]

2nd game in a row with a sack plus multiple QB pressures.

[jamrock]

This guy is a baller. He’s making plays consistently.

[gzubeck]

DROY candidate if he continues to play like this through the rest of the season.

[AK47]

His play pops on tape. This kid is going to add another 2-3 good years from Bosa. Bosa is eating whilst putting in less exertion than in seasons past. Mack too.

Doesn't hurt that Jay Rodgers is Tuli's coach. Jay was Khalil's d-line coach while Rodgers and Staley were in Chicago. Staley was OLB coach in 2018.

Stud!

Looks like they picked a winner.

What stands out to me about this player is he's able to win with power as a rookie at 21 years old.
That's not common to see at all unless it's a top 10 blue chip talent doing it.

Usually takes at least a couple of years
for players to develop the size and strength to do that and many never do.

Not going to say he will be as good as him but Khalil Mack as a rookie had low sack numbers but he had a high amount of Qb pressures and was able to manhandle blockers with power in a similar way as a rookie.

Gets his motor running
Heads out on that highway
Looking for adventure
in whatever mayhem come his way

My clumsy play on Steppenwolf in tribute to our new direwolf. Tuli born to be wild.

[Heatmiser]

There is a goal line play against the Vikings in which Tuli slams Hockensin so hard he falls down and it disrupts his route and then he drops off to cover the other TE who barely beats him for the 4 yd td pass. It was really good coverage and recognition by Tuli and also incredible strength to basically throw an NFL TE on the ground. I am pretty impressed by him.

He turned 21 September 3rd. I have concert tshirts twice as old as this outstanding young man.
