Ade Ogundeji: In 2018, he was penciled in as the fourth defensive end, for better or for worse. He was a raw prospect coming out of high school, but with upside through the roof. Toward the end of last season, we caught a glimpse of how good that upside is. This Spring he has only enhanced that thinking, and the coaching staff is more than comfortable playing him in important situations and lots of snaps. Khalid Kareem should benefit greatly from Ogundeji’s ability to play during all downs and distances.
