Former 4-star, high-upside linebacker who brings special-teams grit and edge
Deaysean Rippy’s appeal has always been the blend: a former highly regarded recruit who was described as explosive, tough against the run, and versatile enough to work inside, outside, or even in coverage[12][3]. In his Colorado years, he mostly showed up on special teams and in depth-chart battles rather than as a volume producer, including six games of action in 2014 and no game action in 2015-16[10]. If you value length, intensity, and a linebacker who can hit, chase, and fit multiple roles, he’s the kind of fit coaches love testing.
