Stanford’s high-IQ edge rusher turned NFL-caliber defender
Toohill’s Stanford profile was built on production and brains: he was a 3.71 GPA political science standout and a three-time academic all-conference selection who also led Stanford in tackles and sacks during his college career.[6] That combination of discipline, motor, and versatility made him a good fit for teams valuing assignment-sound, effort-driven defense, and his NFL trajectory shows he has stayed active at the pro level after being drafted in 2020.[2][3] If you want a relentless, coachable front-seven player with proven competitiveness, he’s the kind of prospect worth caring about.
