Bradlee Anae, Utah

Anae just gets after the quarterback. He’s a high-motor player who has no problem battling opposing tackles in the trenches. Anae registered 13 sacks last year, and 28 over his final three years at school. He still has to work a bit at playing against the run. However, the upside of his pass rush is intriguing.

During the Senior Bowl he sacked Jalen Hurts and Steven Montez. Anae also forced an interception from Hurts with pressure down the middle, forcing the ball to leave his hands early.

Josh Uche, Michigan

Uche had a solid senior season for the Wolverines, recording 8.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss. He is athletic and closes on ball carriers quickly. Uche also showed he could blitz the interior of opponents’ offensive lines. Once again, he is another player that teams will need to examine if he fits better as a defensive end in a 4-3 or a stand-up linebacker in a 3-4. Bills Wire previously reported that Uche spoke to the Bills at the Senior Bowl as well.
