Ryan Kerrigan - Really interesting prospect here. SB Nation's very own Tommy Lawlor loves the kid. With Brandon Graham suffering an ACL tear, don't be surprised if the Eagles go DE in the first round again, like it or not.
On a side note, he was asked a bunch of questions about his exceptional ability to strip-sack the QB, as a few reporters brought of names of player like Derrick Thomas, Robert Mathis, and Dwight Freeney as comparisons. Intrigued by this revelation, I went back to my computer to see how many forced fumbled he had in his college career. Survey says... Four! I do love how Kerrigan just plays along in this interview as if forced fumbles are a huge part of his game:
