The same Ryan Kerrigan who was in talks for defensive rookie of the year.

I’m a huge College and Pro Football fan and have been following this kid closely for a couple years. He def has potential to be a mid to late round pick depending upon how he does at his pro day, or combine if he gets invited (not sure if he will).

I’m a little perplexed why someone who’s first priority is football would consider attending a more academic college like Purdue. Ryan Kerrigan spoke about how extremely difficult it was juggling academics and football while he was at Purdue.

Also, I"m a huge Redskins fan so I know a tremendous amount about Kerrigan, kid is an absolute animal and him and Orakpo are going to be one of the two best pass rushers on the same defense for the next ten years (just need to get rid of Sexy Rexy and keep the defense off the field).

Anyways, I wish your friend alot of luck and will continue to keep my eye on him in the upcoming months leading up to the draft.
