While people love to get excited about rookies, I don’t know that there is any player about which fans are more enthusiastic than Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, the second-year outside linebacker out of Toledo who spent most of his rookie season on the Reserve/Injured List a year ago for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Devin Bush is the lone possible exception.
With both T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree not dressing, Adeniyi started for the defense on Friday night, the coaching staff hoping he can turn things on as he has in practice.
