big-bodied Stanford DE with proven edge-setting power
Josh Mauro stood out at Stanford as a long, powerful defensive end (6-6, 290) who paired NFL size with steady production, including 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2012 and an East-West Shrine Game selection in 2013. He was valued for his length, strength, and ability to hold up against the run while still flashing pass-rush disruption, making him the kind of disciplined, high-floor defender coaches can trust. One important caveat: Mauro’s Stanford college profile is from 2013, and available sources show he later played in the NFL, so this is a career profile rather than current collegiate performance.
