Big-bodied Purdue edge with proven backfield disruption
Panfil stood out at Purdue in the 2016 season as an every-game starter who produced 30 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, and a forced fumble, showing the kind of length-and-power profile teams want on the edge.[3] At 6-foot-5 and around 240-270 pounds depending on the source, he projects as a classic strong-side defensive end whose value comes from setting the edge, collapsing pockets, and bringing a disruptive motor rather than flashy speed numbers.[1][2][5][7] He looks like a fit for teams that prioritize size, toughness, and dependable production from their defensive front.[3][7]
