Steal | Penn State EDGE Yetur Gross-Matos to Carolina Panthers, No. 38 overall
The rich get richer. The Panthers already had a strong defensive line entering today, and add another player here who can be an immediate impact starter for their defense. Perhaps the value was too good to pass up.
Gross-Matos is a powerful and lengthy defensive linemen who has the traits to make splash plays in the backfield. His large tackle radius and ability to play with excellent extension gives him fantastic range as a tackler. Gross-Matos fires off the ball with a red hot motor and has the strength to hold up at the point of attack.
While his processing skills could improve a bit, his natural traits and ability project him as a quality player at the next level, giving Carolina yet another talented defender as the Matt Rhule era begins.
