Draft Preview: Notable Defensive End Highlights

Shane Ray

After playing behind Kony Ealy and Michael Sam at Missouri for two years, Ray became a starter in his junior and final year and exploded. He had 22.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks and at 6-2, 249 pounds, he can rush the passer standing up in a 3-4 scheme, or with his hand down in the 4-3. Some draft experts say he has the best first step off the snap of any defensive player in the draft.

Dante Fowler Jr.

At 6-2 and 261 pounds, Fowler heads into the NFL as one of the top-rated 4-3 defensive ends in the draft class.
