I watched a few full Ohio State games last year and took the time to watch JTT and Emeka's freshman highlight tapes. Emeka looks very special on kick returns. He's super thick and strong and still fast and his balance is exceptional - guys just ping off him and he keeps his feet. I also like that he wasn't anointed a high five-star at 14 like a lot of the other top WA guys so maybe he actually worked on himself for at least some of high school.
JTT looks like he could be an all world DT but doesn't jump out at DE at least yet.
Both are about the only recent guys who have looked legit to me and both were at least classy and savvy enough to make it seem like they were giving UW and the Jimmy Lake disaster train a shot. Both also did the right thing and go to an out of region elite program where I'm sure they got good bags if they wanted them and are playing in units with coaches who have put a ton of guys at their positions at high draft positions.
