PROSPECT PROFILE 
 
KARON RILEY
DEFENSIVE END
MINNESOTA

6'2  250  4.7
 
 
 
A transfer from Southern Methodist who became not only the Gophers' best pass rusher but the top sack man in the whole Big Ten.

PROS: Makes a lot of plays. His speed and athleticism allow him to be an excellent pass rusher. Also makes a lot of tackles in the backfield. One of the best edge rushers in this draft.

CONS: Falls into that "tweener" category. Could be a rush end or an OLB or even a rush LB in a 3-4. The question will be where to put him. His size limits his playing time as a true DE.

BOTTOM LINE: Teams are always looking for pass rushers and Riley is one of the best. Look for his name towards the end of the 2nd Round or at the beginning of the 3rd.
