Whether it’s disengaging from a blocker in a tight space or using quick rip and swim moves, Stackhouse shows refined technique that allows him to collapse pockets and pressure quarterbacks from the inside.
Nazir Stackhouse is more than just potential, he’s a high-motor, high-ceiling lineman who’s going to help control the line of scrimmage from day one. His new team just got a whole lot tougher up front.
