Rob Ninkovich was a disruptive Purdue edge with real sack juice
Rob Ninkovich’s Purdue profile is all about production and relentlessness: in the 2005 season, he posted 8.0 sacks and 17.0 tackles for loss, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors and Purdue MVP recognition. He was never a high-volume starter, but he consistently flashed game-wrecking burst, versatility, and a nasty edge-rushing temperament that showed up in big rivalry moments. If you want an underdog pass rusher who plays with intensity and disruption rather than pure hype, Ninkovich is exactly that kind of fit.
