Sweet, Hope he pans out

I initially read his name as Corrado, and was thinking Junior Soprano...

Was he in any NFL camp for more than a ham sandwich before he went to the CFL?

Law played for the Calgary Stampeders in 2013. He had 14 sacks this season, with 44 tackles and three tackles for loss. His 14 sacks ranked third in the CFL. Law had one sack in two games with Calgary in 2012. Law signed with the Seahawks last season as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss. He was waived on Aug. 31, 2012. Law ran a 4.83-second 40-yard dash at the Southern Miss Pro Day last year at 6-foot-1, 254 pounds. Law had 28 sacks in his four seasons with the Golden Eagles, including 9 1/2 his senior year.

no downside to this. im intrigued.

[Yubaking]

I like the idea of signing him. He seems to have a history of getting sacks even though he is kind of on the slower side for OLBs. Does anyone know anything about his ability against the run?

Draft Scout Player News
03/24/12 - Southern Miss Pro Day: Friday was a big day for former Southern Miss defensive end Cordarro Law. Although he had one of the best seasons for a defender in Conference USA in 2011, he's mostly flown under the radar when it comes to the NFL. On Friday, Law had his chance to shine at USM's Pro Day. "I believe I opened eyes up," he said. "I showed a lot of people I can do different things. Overall, today was a good day." The 6-foot-2, 260-pound Law was impressive in his workouts, looking a step quicker as he went through drills in front of the NFL scouts. He worked out as both a linebacker and defensive end as he tries to prove he can be a pass rusher at the next level. Law was among a group of former Golden Eagles and other athletes from the region who worked out for scouts from 22 different NFL teams. Also on hand were two of the biggest names in recent USM football history - receiver DeAndre Brown and quarterback Austin Davis. Brown (6-6, 255 pounds) is giving tight end a shot afte failing to catch on last season in the Philadelphia Eagles organization as receiver. "Everybody thinks that's better for me so I'm just going to go with it," Brown said. - Patrick Magee, Hattiesburg American

When it comes to work ethnic, Cordarro Law credits his mom and dad for passing down their blue-collar genes.

For Law, 24, figures the fine art of collecting sacks comes down to raw determination and sheer will.

Talent is one thing, but it means little without the effort to back it up.

“My dad works for a logging company,” the Calgary Stampeders defensive end says. “He runs the tree-cutters at a mill.

“My mom works at the grocery store. She’s a meat-cutter. I’ve watched my mom, and she gets up to go to work every day at 5 o’clock in the morning with no complaints.”

As such, Law is not about to complain about life under the rule of Stamps defensive line coach DeVone Claybrooks. After all, this six-foot-two, 262-pound behemoth is on the cusp of making a name for himself — first in the CFL, and then, perhaps, in the big league to the south.

“I’ve been playing well, and I’m going to keep performing,” Law says. “It’s been so much fun. That’s my main goal, to get to the quarterback.

“Every time I get there, it’s just a joy.”

The 2013 campaign is morphing into a festival of joy for Law, a Southern Mississippi product in his sophomore season with the Stamps.

Through nine games, the unassuming quarterback assassin has piled up 25 defensive tackles and a forced fumble. But his most impressive stat? Eight sacks, good for third in the league behind only Winnipeg’s Alex Hall (12) and Calgary’s Charleston Hughes (10). No longer can the opposition double-team Hughes with little worry of attack on the other end of the line.

“Charleston was getting a lot of attention,” Law says. “But now I’ve got a few sacks, they’re kind of focused on me now.

“I guess maybe one of our defensive tackles will have a breakout year now.”

The Stamps sit second in the CFL in combined sacks with 36, only two behind league-leading Winnipeg.

The emergence of Law — who played two-regular-season games and three playoff games in 2012 as a late pickup by the Stamps — has helped turn a one-time weakness for Calgary into a core strength.

“He’s a good young kid,” Claybrooks says. “He puts in the time. Works hard. Does the little things.

“He’s actually a very complete player. He rushes the passer very well. He’s able to drop into coverage, and he plays the run. He doesn’t really have a glaring weakness.”

Life is good these days for the big boys up front — although Claybrooks demands constant improvement on his watch.

“In this game, you get a king’s ransom to play a joker’s game,” he says. “Football hasn’t changed since pee-wee and midget. We’re just having fun. It’s still the same.

“We’re just having fun. You’re not having a real job working 18 hours a day.”

As a kid, Law watched both his parents work real jobs — so he’s in no hurry to give up on the dream of taking football as far as he possibly can.

“I tell our guys to enjoy every moment and cherish it,” Claybrooks says. “Because you never know when it’s going to fleet and leave.

“That’s the gift and the curse of professional sports.”

Rest assured, Hughes appreciates the gift of a dangerous pass rusher on his opposite edge.

“He’s doing what most people didn’t think he was supposed to be doing,” Hughes says. “He’s making a lot of noise right now for himself. I didn’t even notice he had that many sacks until I took time to see what was going on.”

Cue the friendly rivalry between bookends.

“Especially being so young, he’s catching on very well,” Hughes says. “He’s learning very well.

“All I can say is he’s playing pretty damn good right now.”

Stamps fans might want to soak in the sight of No. 49 causing mayhem in the backfield. For at this time next year, he’ll likely have taken his blue-collar act to the National Football League.

“I haven’t even thought about it,” sidestepping the question like a pesky offensive tackle standing in the path to the quarterback. “All I’m thinking about is playing here and winning a championship here.”

Stay tuned.
