veteran Stony Brook D-line anchor with proven backfield punch
David Gross’s Stony Brook profile shows a disruptive defensive lineman with an old-school edge: in the 2008 season, he played in 10 games, posted 12 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and a sack, after 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks in the 2007 season. He brings proven production, interior toughness, and a nose for negative plays, with his best trait being steady, physical effort rather than flashy measurables. The main fit question is upside versus pedigree: he looks like the kind of trench worker coaches trust when they want reliable, hard-nosed depth up front.
