I remember us working him out in the offseason before the draft.  I believe he is a pass rusher.  They must really like something about him to put him on the 53 man roster but I could be wrong.  My thinking is they probably claimed him off the Chargers PS.

He's faster than that.  He's run 4.6 more than once.  I'm sure he'll be mostly special teams.  Had about 22 sacks in college.  Not sure if he'll play inside or outside with that size.   Had a lot of tackles in College.

they must like him a lot to have signed him off waivers on to the regular roster instead of calling Luke Rhodes up from the PS. Hes getting a better deal than even Edwin Jackson got. Jackson was on the PS coming from Arizona for much of last year. Would know the D coming from San Diego I assume.

a tackling dummy is better in coverage than McNary.

 

 

McNary's decent on special teams but has a negative value on D.

The remote controlled dummy the Colts are using for the punt return guys would be better than McNary for sure. Hopefully it can suit up Sunday, he's blazing fast
