veteran Duke edge who won with explosiveness, toughness, and versatility
Britton Grier’s Duke profile is that of a high-motor, position-flexible defender: he arrived as a fast linebacker, moved to defensive end, and was described by Duke as the fastest player in the linebacking unit while also posting elite strength numbers in the weight room in the 2012 season. By the 2015 season, he had earned a starting role at defensive end and brought steady experience, including 32 career games and 494 snaps, with coaches trusting him on the edge. For a team, he fits as a tough, scheme-adjustable run defender and effort player who adds more than box-score stats.
