I agree busting Rons chops as a few posters have is too far, we don't know his life, and he does have a degree which says a lot. I havent commented much in this but Speaking for myself as a fan its more what could have been remorse both for the team and for Ron.

I see a team looking for a dominant DE going into a season of Tampa 2, that relies on strong DL play. Also seeing that tampa 2 can be a springboard for great DL stats for sacks, pass breakups, tackles and TFL; because LBs play off the line a bit and don't dilute the backfield numbers as much. I wonder with the amount he would have been on the field this year if he could have pushed up to the 3-4th round with a great year and a few more team wins (attention).

I see a guy with talent and athleticism going as an UDFA, which is good money no doubt but its a steeper hill to climb and there seemed to be a kernel of something greater hidden in Rons play. If he can find it consostently and make a NFL squad, perfect. I want all our SU players to succed in the pros, whether Im puzzled with their decision or not, and I absolutely dont know their life or circumstances.

The hard part about the Pros is if you aren't the top guy you don't get the coaching focus and reps, sometimes making it harder to bring that talent to the surface and geg noticed than if you are DE #1 in college and the coach's season depends on your success.

My perspective. Best of luck Ron I hope you kill it in the League, make us proud and prove everybody wrong.
