He reminds me of 2x super bowl champ Aaron Smith. Extremely underrated piece of that championship Steelers Defense. Would love to see pittsburgh take him at 17 if he falls. This is a pick that may not help you day 1 but will be a generational building block on a defense.
i feel like it's the opposite besides maybe love and dillon. they've been pretty consistent picking high round defensive and o-line players. yeah, everyone the last few years has hyped up pass catchers like Jaxon Smith Njigba for example but the more grounded fans always said it wouldn't happen. Christian Watson was drafted earlier than any receiver since 2002 and that was still in the second round.
He needs an NFL strength and conditioning program. In a year or two he could really blossom. Until then he'd be solid in 3-tech/pass down rotation and a special teams stud. Kind of reminds me of a less-bendy Howie Long with his versatility. The way he blew up Dawand Jones (6'8" 375) shows some of the strength he can muster.
He's got strength. What he lacks are moves. Won't be as effective in the pros unless he develops some. 2nd rd talent at most IMO. That said, I still want the Bears to snag him.
So many of these plays are simply not happening at the NFL level. I'm far from a hater, but I can't say that anything about this tape warrants him being a first round pick, let alone a top 12 selection.
This kids motor is nonstop. He needs to work on his strength and, like all rookies, his conditioning. I just don’t see him as a 1st Round DE, but that’s just me. I like a more dynamic Edge, like Micah, so I’d love to pair him with someone like Nolan Smith or Will MacDonald IV. DCs would have a lot of sleepless nights if that happened! #DC4L
Doesn’t need to work on his strength lmao did u not see him go up against Paris Johnson jr a top 10 offensive linemen ? Dude Lukas was bullying him and Peter Skoronski ... on god ... his swim technique needs to be better .. he uses to much strength and not enough finesse
Check out his other teammate no one really actually talks about....Captain Jack Campbell...the guy is a beast...if he had decent enough speed...most definitely a first round pick. Van Ness is good.
First round for sure. He's stiff, but hes big and doesn't give up. You can put him at 3tech on passing downs too. If you've got that length at that size with good hustle you can go first round.
@@nmemichael1043people draft projects everytime in the first round, specially pass rushers. This guy isnt a project. Just needs one season in the training room
@@EaglesTime comparing van ness to Travon Walker is not the same, also, I still disagree with that pick intensively seeing as Aiden Hutchinson was the more complete player. Also, that same logic can be applied with Thibodeux who was projected for the longest as the best player on the board but he fell.
@@QuinnMandellwhy would the packers go JSN when they have Jayden Reed for the slot .. Edge was a must and packers love versatile players … this kid will be able to learn how to do a lot .. he can play off the ball on the ball .. 3 tech , outside .. and gap on the D line .. him paired up with Rashan Gary , Devonta Wyatt , Kenny Clark , Preston smith is going to be dangerous
After that bears trade with panthers for dj Moore and the rest of the haul bears are most likely looking to get offensive line in FA and draft Tyree Wilson, carter, van ness, someone at #9 now. I imagine carter, Anderson and tyree Wilson will be taken by the time we get to choose at 9 so it might be van ness is my guess
I believe the bears will go offensive tackle for future needs … that’s the best route to take … Pass rusher class this year is DEEP … you can arguably even get one in the early second round .
Get him into an NFL bulking program to pack on 15-20 pounds and turn him into a dominant 3 tech. Insane block shedding ability already. Maybe Detroit at 6
He's not the top of my list at all for 6 but it looks like his measurables are going to get him taken a lot higher than what he's ready for. Would love at 18
Future Falcon here!!! According to PFF (not the end all be all website) his stats were: Sacks: 9 Hurries: 31 Pressures: 46 Tackle For Loss: 18 He did this as a second string player and is a redshirt sophomore. The man is a monster.
If he falls to 15, I hope the Packers pick him up but they’ll most likely get Michael Mayer or Dalten from Utah. This is a tough situation if that actually happens!
@@andrezcastleberry9090 i know we also have pick 20 but they’re most likely to get a WR or LB at that pick, Carter or Anderson will fall to pick 5 because teams are going to move up to get a QB
@@Mendoza1414a wr isn’t a top need for Seattle rn. and it’s plenty of linebackers in this class. He is a top edge rusher and that is what Seattle is lacking the most out of all positions and a QB
@@andrezcastleberry9090 dude you’re not even a Seahawks fan I know what they need, Lockett and Dk are our only good receivers we need a number 3 that can help exploit defenses, also Lockett is already 30 years old
I'm curious what similarities people are seeing between him and the Watts or the Bosas. He seems like a very different player to me. Seems like a lot of people are also comparing him to Ryan Kerrigan too, which strikes me as a very odd comp. Michael brockers seems a closer comp in terms of technique and limitations to me. Not an insult! Brockers is one of the most underrated guys of the last decade along the dline.
This guy is the next JJ Watt. How low he can get using leverage to bull rush is impressive. Uses length to anchor against run and rips showing his explosiveness to pursue. This guy is the perfect 3 technique.
@@nivek1160I think it would be fair because if the Bears get Jalen Carter smh if he doesn’t land with the Seahawks or Lions or Raiders, then they can have him and the Packers could have this monster! The nfc north would be stacked! Hutchinson and the Lions defense, Carter and the Bears defense, Vanness and the Packers defense! It would be exciting to watch
Half of his big plays are hustle plays or coverage sacks. Can’t just rely on strength to beat NFL Offensive lineman. He’s solid but not a top 10 talent
Welcome to Green Bay 💚 💛
@@TigR5harkCause we have Barry still
All of these hits are flags in the NFL. Kid is a dog. Welcome to GB!
I like his determination in rushing, he does not give up on plays.
This is an excellent highlight reel. Good work!
The 91 reminds me of Ryan Kerrigan. Built similarly too.
He reminds me of 2x super bowl champ Aaron Smith. Extremely underrated piece of that championship Steelers Defense. Would love to see pittsburgh take him at 17 if he falls. This is a pick that may not help you day 1 but will be a generational building block on a defense.
Green Bay never fails to surprise in the draft.
surprise? he was mocked to GB by tons of analysts, and totally fits GB's profile.

He looks solid to me. He doesn't look small (physical traits) to me.
Rest of the game film, Jones owned his number. Like in that same game Jones clamped him. This is why highlights don’t tell the full tale
Totally agree. 2nd round is where I would put him.
He's got strength. What he lacks are moves. Won't be as effective in the pros unless he develops some. 2nd rd talent at most IMO. That said, I still want the Bears to snag him.
@@ragnarocking I like that range and how you explained it. Couldn’t agree more.
This guy would destroy tackles as a traditional 4-3 DE.
I don’t know if I want to admit it or not but I think van ness has grown on me
Like his motor. Can play inside and edge.
Van ness is a beast
Welcome to Titletown! 🧀🏈
Welcome to the Pack!
Ravens I'm calling it now
⚜️
Luke Van Ness 6’5. 270- JJ Watt 6’5 290
Arms 34 inch. Arms 34 inch
Bench reps. 17. Bench Reps 34
Broad Jump 9’10. Broad Jump 10’0
3 cone drill 7.20. 3 cone drill. 6.88
JJ steroids Lucas Sarms
JJ's testing numbers just don't make sense. You can't be 290 and move like that. JJ might go down as one of the most freaky athletes ever.
Welcome to pack nation. He looks like he could become a great DE in the nfl
Would be a great fit along that Eagles defensive line!! 🦅🦅🦅
You Mean Lions 🦁
@Muddy615 yall better draft a qb while yall have a chance
@@Kenbonedyouremom I Believe in Goff 💯 Lead a Team to A super Bowl A lot Of you People Team Qb Never Did it 💯

Everyone who has any football expertise disagrees with you

He’s destined to be a Steeler
I think he's gonna be a bust a I hope not

Welcome to the Steelers
Definitely looks like he could help stop the run.
Welcome!
Go PACK GO!!!
all the packers fans coming here to see their new toy
@@hipspinster6959 well, cant really watch him play for us right now can we?
Reminds me of ryan kerrigan. Myles murphy looks a lot like jevon kearse
I wonder if Philly took a chance on him, if he would be comfortable moving to the inside full time. If not, then it's probably Calijah Kancey all day
He’s a playmaker that can lineup anywhere on the D line. Future Bear 100%
He’ll be picked. It’ll help keep Kmet in town as well.
Draft Lukas Van Ness and make a trade with Indy for DeForest Buckner. Those two moves alone would put this new Bears defense over the top.

Get him into an NFL bulking program to pack on 15-20 pounds and turn him into a dominant 3 tech. Insane block shedding ability already. Maybe Detroit at 6
6? Please shut up
Too high at 6. I would take him at 18 though for sure.
He's not the top of my list at all for 6 but it looks like his measurables are going to get him taken a lot higher than what he's ready for. Would love at 18
He weighs 275. No way he should be playing at nearly 300 lbs lol. He's not a Guard
@@AdamB34 I don't think you know what the standard weight of guards are compared to DT/4I. Or what 275 (he's 272*) +15 is.
He won't fall past #15.
Put him on the other side of Hutchinson 💯🦁🦁🦁💙
Texans picking this guy up!
Raider should get him at 7 if they don't go QB and if Ty Wilson is gone
Dan campbell guy right there
GO PACK GO

Falcons fan here and I'd rather have Nolan Smith than this cat here. If Nolan can't be a stellar pash rusher he can do other things.
Why does a potential top 10 pick for multiple seasons not even start
@@RB-.- Iowa is big on starting senior guys first unfortunately. He still got just as many if not more snap and still was productive.
@@brianrodgers409 I can role with Nolan he is my #3 edge in this class.
He’s good but my one complaint is he doesn’t have bend
Eagles with the #10 pick!
2nd or 3rd round pick. Pretty good.
Welcome to Green Bay Wisconsin Hercules
This guy has 🐻 written all over him!
Ooh. Close. They passed him up so he went to GB
He’s a top 15 player in this draft easily. You can just tell.
You sure 😮😮
This guy is a Steeler.
J.J. Watt comp?
Gonna be scary when he lines up next to aiden hutchinson in a lions uniform 🔥😮💨
Nah, y'all getting that knucklehead, Jalen Carter
@@ooman8 I hope so 👀
Projected to go to the Falcons if they don't take the Gonzales kid out of Oregon and Wilson is off the board
Future Jets
Look like tj watt out there
LVN is a lifelong Bears fan... Just sayin' 🐻👇
Welcome to the Packers
Ryan Kerrigan
Would look good in Eagles green
offensive tackle or wr made more sense
Pats should draft him!
Really hope the Bears can get him
Go Pack Go!

Huh 🤔 you should watch it again he’s a beast bro 😎 I like this kid I’m in Seattle Seahawks are looking at him tuff
What are you watching lol.
Say what??
JJ Watt vibes?
His he good, or is it the whole defense?
Looks like the next Clay Matthews to me!!!

Looks like a 3rd round pick.
How was he not a starter?
He played the second most minutes though on the defensive
I'm glad this guy is on the lions.
This didn't age well
Green Bay kinda guy
Nfl comp: nick bosa
Mostly against sub-par oline!
Chicago #9
Not many pass rush moves. Just bull rushes that ass
Patriot type a player
really 13th pick
I bet you don't like him because he's out of Iowa
wrong. just think you could have gotten a " prospect" at edge in round 4-7. not 13th over all.
I thought he was a D end because of his size.
When the eagles draft him I’m going to be very upset
Why
Steelers target at 32
lions at 6
Be fucking fr man he'll be available at 18, 6 needs to be a DB
Fuck no
