These are 3 underrated sleepers IMO that all can be special and have very impressive film. In no order:
1. Yvan Kemajou
2. Lavar Arrington Jr
3. Josh Johnson
Kemajou:
When I watched Kemajous film it was his Junior highlights. His highlights were impressive showing a nice combination of strength, quick burst off the ball and closing speed. However, he now has Senior film out and wow is this kid an animal. He projects as a 3 tech DT but his passing rushing ability is very impressive.
There is phrase used scouting Edge guys called "Speed to Power" which is self explanatory. They start with a quick initial burst, the first few steps is "speed." Then they transform their speed into power. This is what Kemajou does at a high level. And not only does he have great speed to power but he also a good bend. He has a thick build and plays VERY physical. His thick build and top level combination of strength and speed reminds me of Jared Verse. If he can keep his weight down I'd love to see him as a DE.
His combination of explosive power and speed you'll see on the very first play.
Also Watch his pass rush at the 4:00. Notice the bend. This is what an elite pass rush looks like even though he didn't use his hands.
