So what did an experienced professional like Logan Paulsen see watching some film on the Washington Commanders<\/a>‘ newest pass rusher, Odafe Oweh<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Paulsen, who played 120 NFL regular-season games in his eight-year career, sat down with Grant Paulsen on the latest edition of the “Take Command” podcast, and here is a portion of what Paulsen communicated after some film study on Oweh.<\/p>\n

“I was kinda unsure of what the film would show, especially from this last year. I’m gonna be quite honest, I am not going to mince words. I was kind of blown away with what I saw in terms of film. I saw a guy who is an athletic freak. He’s a big dude. He is 6-5, 257, at least that is what he measured at the Combine.”<\/p>\n

“He has 34 1\/2 inch arms which is kind of perfect for the edge rusher position. It was cool to watch him develop this year, mature as a pass rusher, from other times when I had watched him. He’s got this nice cross-chop where he is able to attack the outside shoulder of the (offensive) tackle.”<\/p>\n

“He’s got a spin move, the length and the power come to the forefront for me a little bit when you are watching the film. The other thing that I think he did a great job of was how stout he was against the run. He’s physical, man. He’s got these long arms, he plays with great strength. He can snatch guys down.”<\/p>\n

“It really reminds me of Danielle Hunter, when I played him early in his career as a rookie. He was good, but he hadn’t really quite figured it out. These traits that you are seeing from Odafe Oweh, I think he is kind of on the precipice of something really special.”<\/p>\n

I think you are paying him off of one year and maybe people are going to say that’s a little premature. But after watching the film? I was like, Dude, if he can do this here in Washington, he’s worth every penny.”<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say, Paulsen is a big fan of Oweh.<\/p>\n
