'If somebody gives me an opportunity to learn and develop in their system, I feel like I can become one of the best players in the NFL.' Check out jgunter94's full interview with JustinM_NFL as the NFL draft draws closer. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
Applying pressure on the quarterback is the best way to slow down today’s high-powered NFL offenses. If teams are looking for an EDGE defender who is an exciting and ascending talent in the 2022 NFL Draft, they should have their eyes on Coastal Carolina's Jeffrey Gunter. Gunter was named to the 2021 All-Sun Belt Second Team for his strong efforts.
JG: They really taught me everything I know. I feel like a lot of people don't know I actually played defensive back until my junior year of high school. That's where I played growing up. They really taught me how to play defensive end. I took it and ran with it. I had a great career at Coastal Carolina. I'm thankful for the opportunity.
JM: You consistently get after the quarterback on tape. What can you tell me about your pass rush arsenal? I’m looking for go-to moves, counters, and so on. JM: You recently went to the NFL Scouting Combine and had a great week. You measured in at 6-foot-4 and 258 pounds with arms longer than 33 inches. You ran the 40-yard dash in 4.70 seconds. Your vertical jump and broad jump results were excellent as well. Do you feel like you surprised some people in Indianapolis?
JG: To me, it takes a gladiator mentality. It’s me against that man and one of us has to win our matchup. When I was younger, I also participated in wrestling. I feel like that’s the type of mentality I bring with me when I’m playing against the run. I feel like one man shouldn’t be able to block me in the run game. As far as setting the edge goes, I’m just trying to make sure that I do my job. I have to dominate the man in front of me. I’m just trying to get to the ball at the end of the day.
JM: That's the best way to handle that question. If you could hand-select the quarterback to be the victim of your first career sack, who would you choose and why?
