The Other Guy

The other half of Miami’s ferocious pass rush, Roche is nearly the physical opposite of Rousseau. Standing at 6-foot-4 and only 235 pounds, he’s going to need to add size onto his frame at the NFL level.

What he lacks in size he makes up for in athleticism. Like Rousseau, he’s an explosive freak. Credited with 68 quarterback pressures last season, he simply dominated opposing linemen. He has the athleticism you want, and can probably get away with playing at 235, even if he should add some extra pounds.

Roche could end the year as a top-50 prospect if he builds on his 13-sack season in 2019. Another guy Denver would have to invest early in.
