Overview
Jason Strowbridge is an interesting prospect because of what all he can bring to a defense. He can attack from the edge and win over the edge, or attack inside and win against guards.
There are a lot of aspects to Strowbridge's game that are going to need to be fixed or corrected before playing on the edge or the inside. Those concerns make his transition and projection into the NFL a little more difficult for teams to pinpoint and may cause him to fall as a result.
