"KJ's a guy that can come off the edge, and at the same time, he can stand up, be in the two-point [stance] ... He drops well into coverage, but one thing he does is his pass rush. Here's a young man that didn't get a lot of credit...because of the guys that were lining up next to him. He's a guy that has a real nice arm, but then he comes up and collapses it underneath with a good counter."
