The edge rotation also took a hit in free agency with starters Mario Addison and Bruce Irvin leaving. That means more snaps for guys further down the depth chart. Obada hasn’t played much but he’s shown potential and consistency, having missed only one tackle so far. If he develops as a pass rusher, there might be a legitimate chance for him to blossom. First, Obada will have to beat out Christian Miller and Marquis Haynes for playing time.
