Mike Wakefield brings proven edge-rush production and FIU pedigree
Wakefield is a former FIU defensive end whose college résumé showed real disruption ability, including 43 tackles and 15.0 tackles for loss in 2015, a strong indicator of backfield impact and motor-driven play. He later developed into a productive pro-level defender, which suggests he can translate effort and leverage into consistent pressure. The main reason to care: he profiles as the kind of physical, assignment-aware DE who can win with toughness and relentlessness rather than flash, making him a fit for teams that value disciplined run defense and steady edge pressure.[6][2][1]
