seasoned Drake edge who has been a backfield nuisance
Pat Forliti’s best-known production dates to the 2004–05 Drake seasons, when he was a disruptive defensive end who led the Bulldogs in sacks in multiple reports, including 3.5 sacks in 2004 and 2.5 sacks early that fall. The appeal here is clear: he played with active hands, good burst, and a knack for getting into the backfield and finishing plays, plus he showed up in key moments like forced-fumble pressure. Forliti looks like the kind of tough, assignment-sound edge defender coaches trust when they want effort, leverage, and disruption over flash.
