Navy’s high-motor edge rusher with proven production
Matt Nechak built his case in the 2008 season with 39 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery, and Navy described him as one of its most improved players with real pass-rush juice and high passion. His differentiators are effort, intensity, and versatility: he moved from outside linebacker to defensive end and was still battling for a starting role while coming off knee surgery, which adds some durability context. If your team wants a relentless edge defender who plays with a chip on his shoulder and can disrupt plays behind the line, he’s a strong fit.
