Rakim Cox was a disruptive Villanova edge presence with NFL-caliber burst
In the 2013 season, Rakim Cox was one of Villanova’s most disruptive defenders, posting 30 tackles, a team-high 9 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, 3 blocked kicks and a forced fumble, while earning First-Team All-CAA honors for the second straight year. He stood out for his get-off, bend and motor off the edge, plus a reputation for being coachable and high-IQ. The catch: he was more of a developmental speed rusher than a plug-and-play power guy, so fit matters if your scheme wants twitch, effort and edge pressure.
