Re-Drafting the Defensive Linemen From the 2011 NFL Draft using Advanced Analytics
T3. Jurrell Casey
CarAV: 47
All these top picks, and then boom -- Jurrell Casey comes from the depths of the third round to play like a first-round selection through six seasons. Now, not many can doubt a USC-bred defender, but Casey was never meant to outperform the likes of Jordan and Quinn.
That's exactly what the big man's done, though. In splitting time between tackle and end, Casey has churned out 221 total tackles, 33 sacks and 4 forced fumbles in his time with the Tennessee Titans.
In both of the last two years, he has made a trip to the Pro Bowl, but neither were Casey's best season. Rather, at 24 years old, Casey made 38 tackles with 10.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 15 games -- resulting in an AV of 12 in his third NFL season.
