Hands down. Anyone who knows anything about defense or knows anything about watching interior line play, where the game is won and lost, can see that the guy is the best DT play in, play out that we have maybe ever had wear a Paw. I go back to 1977 and have never seen a DT be more hellish to deal with or quicker or with a higher motor than that wild dog. Jeff Bryant is the only other DT that could hang with him. Jim Stuckey possibly....We have had great ones like Bryant, Stuckey, Buckner, Chester, Fridge, and great DE play by MDP, Gaines, Pryce, Vic, etc. but nobodys motor at DT has ran like number 50's. Bryant was hellish at DT but number 99 was 6'5 285. Grady is 6 feet stretched out and spends virtually every play bringing misery to guards and centers. Best pure FB player on defense, period.
Could not agree more!!! It all starts in the middle. For a center who is busy calling protections, etc. to know that every play he will be hammered is huge. With all of the stars on this team there will be no bigger loss than Grady. Period!!
