How good is LSU outside linebacker/defensive end Arden Key?
Former Tennessee and NFL defensive end Chuck Smith told writer Dan Mathews of Gridiron Now that "This guy is the best pass rusher in the SEC over the last 15 years."
Smith, an Atlanta native who had 56.5 sacks in nine NFL seasons and is now a personal pass-rush coach, has worked with Key, also an Atlanta native, for a few years.
"He's got bend like Von Miller and a spin like Dwight Freeney," Smith said of Key. "He knows how to do all the pass rush moves, why to use the moves, how to use the moves and he has edge speed.
