Iowa EDGE A.J. Epenesa — Lions EDGE Trey Flowers
From a size perspective, this comparison doesn’t make much sense. Epenesa has three inches, 10 pounds and a slight arm length advantage on Flowers. As an athlete, Epenesa also edges out Flowers in the explosion factor. I think Epenesa has the better upside to Flowers based on his size and athleticism.
Neither player is bendy as an edge rusher, but they play with a lot of power and savvy. They both have that same type of positional versatility to play a handful of spots on the defensive line as well. That type of versatility has proven important to Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo in the past.
