I'm hearing good things about this kid Marvin Austin, a defensive tackle that Rivals.com is calling "nation's top-ranked defensive tackle in the Class of 2007." Austin was said to be a pass rushing specialist in high school and is just now learning how to stop the run. So what's the word on this kid? Is he the real deal?

He's the real deal lefty. He has great size coming in at about 6'2 and 295. Great speed off of the ball, and he knows how to read the plays well. I saw a video of him from last years football season and he caught a running back who was running up the sidelines and squared up on him and sent him about 5 feet into the sidelines. He has a great ability at hitting and great agility. You will be hearing his name a lot in the next few years. He reminds me a lot of Warren Sapp when he was younger.
