NFL Draft 2018: Rutgers' Kemoko Turay compared to Pro Bowl pass-rusher from Big Ten

The unique Kemoko Turay has a new NFL comparison that he won't mind hearing.

Greg Cosell, an analyst for ESPN's NFL Matchup, is reminded of Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue when he watches film of Turay. Both are new-age Big Ten alums, with Ngakoue starring at Maryland and Turay at Rutgers.

Nagkoue was a third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft who has blossomed into one of the NFL's top pass-rushers. He has started 31 of 32 career games and made his first Pro Bowl in 2017 after registering 12 sacks and leading the NFL with six forced fumbles for a ferocious defensive line.
