Stack: How Ben Banogu Went From Playing Quarterback to Terrorizing Them

Of all the defensive prospects in this year's NFL Draft, Banogu may have the most appreciation for how harassing the quarterback changes the complexion of a game.

Again, when looking at low-rated HS players to switch to another position, look at QB first. At least in smaller schools, QB's are usually the most athletic kid in the program, and often one of the smartest.

I had not read the full story of why he only went to a lower-rated program. Broken femur...that is bad stuff...I saw one in eighth grade football.

Also, I like that combo dead-lift/squat device he works out with in the video. Good whole-body thing, it looks like.

Video speaks extremely well for Ben. Scouts love to hear that kind of grit.
