FROM SAME ARTICLE

Dan Kadar at Mocking The Draft wrote this about Nevis prior to the draft:

Nevis is a nasty defensive tackle that loves to get after the ball carrier. His quick first step is among the best in this draft class and makes him a great fit at the 3 technique position. When I watch him play he gives me a Tommie Harris vibe in the way he gets into the backfield. Ultimately, Nevis may find himself sliding in the draft due to the limits of what position he can play.

However, the 2nd round is as far as he will fall and whoever selects him will get a guy capable of contributing right away.

Nevis fell to the third round, where the Colts picked him.

The defensive tackles currently on the roster

are Nevis (303 pounds), Antonio Johnson (310 pounds), Fili Moala (305 pounds), Eric Foster (265 pounds), Ricardo Mathews (290 pounds), and DeMario Pressley (301 pounds).

add John Gill (302 pounds) and rookie free agent Ollie Ogbu (298 pounds).

Nevis's weight on these websites fluctuates more than the stock market, glad to see he's at training camp now.

good, 4 down 1 to go.

I'm so excited to see what this kid can do. We haven't addressed our DT need in free agency, so he is going to need to step up for us.

I'm very excited to watch him play. Great addition!

Then there's Foster, who is aboout 40 lbs lighter than all of those guys.

Good to see Nevis sign, hopefully he can get into the rotation as a rookie and make an impact.
