Drake DL Jacob Hardy brings proven backfield disruption
Jacob Hardy is worth a look because Drake’s roster history shows a defensive lineman with real playmaking juice, including 31 tackles and a team-high 4.0 sacks in the 2018 season, which signals an ability to finish plays in the backfield.[5] His differentiator is disruptive, assignment-sound production rather than raw hype: he has shown he can generate pressure and make stops in bunches, the kind of profile that fits a program looking for effort, leverage, and toughness up front.[5]
