Compared to one of the best
We’ll still hold onto the fact that former Bills pass rusher Bruce Smith is the best to do it. But in the modern day game, you’re not going to find many better than the Houston Texans’ JJ Watt, who is a five-time All-Pro selection, two-time league-leader in sacks, and a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Need we say more?
With that in mind, one outlet, Bleacher Report, noted that Epenesa was compared to Watt in September 2019.
“Young is more athletic by a hair and gets more hype,” an NFL scout tells Bleacher Report. “But I bet Epenesa is the better pro. There’s some J.J. Watt to his game”
In that same piece, Epenesa says he models his game after Watt. Not a bad idea.
