DE Ben Banogu
Banogu isn’t flying under the radar in the sense that he isn’t being talked about, but he might be in the sense that the assumption is that Kemoko Turay will automatically hold a three-down role on the edge opposite Justin Houston. While that may be the most likely outcome, there is a world in which Banogu carves out a role on early downs as the replacement for Jabaal Sheard.
Banogu sports an insane athletic profile and while he may not be the biggest defensive end, his athleticism and bend allows him to be a potential run stopped on the edge. He has to show that he’s made improvements after seeing limited playing time during his rookie season.
However, Banogu has a very high ceiling to be a versatile edge defender in the NFL and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he carves out a bigger role than expected early on.
