Could Brandon Joiner be next years Burfict?

I don't understand...... When was he a "top-10 talent?"

What little I found on him indicates he ran a 4.84 forty at his pro day. 23 bench reps and a 9' 7" broad jump. He was rated as the #63 DE in his class.

He was dealing with a hamstring injury during all of those workouts from what was reported. That and of course his future jail time kept him from the combine. Mostly he was written off after his crime, but had that not happened he wouldve likely been a lot higher rated. I dunno about top 10, but I could see him late 1st through late 2nd round if he worked out better. Dude played in 24 games for ASU and had over 80 tackles, over 20 tackles for loss and 17 sacks which was 4th in the nation. He won DPOY in the Sun Belt. That is a lot of production. I dont know if he compares with Burfict other than situational stuff, but he has potential to come in here and contribute to our DL rotation as a pass rushing DE.
