USC’s proven edge rusher with old-school production
Sultan Abdul-Malik profiles as a disruptive, experienced USC edge defender whose best trait is pass-rush juice: USC credited him with being moved back to defensive end to maximize his rush ability, and in the 2000 season he posted 17 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks in early action, with a career total of 21.5 sacks noted by USC at the time[13]. That kind of résumé screams “impact player” more than “just another body,” and the differentiator is his history of producing when asked to attack the backfield rather than simply hold the edge[12][14].
