Just want to give him a shout out. Guy has been a beast the last two games; he's going to be a good one.
Progression of Will McDonald

- Start date
He was getting good pressure even with being held every possession.

He still has quite a ways to go but the potential is there. He has good size, he's quick and of he keeps progressing then he could end up being one of the all time greats.
Rudy Wade really needs to push McDonald in the weight room. It’s nice to see us getting pressure without blitzing.
As of now he is being held on about 75% of his snaps.
Once he puts on some weight and strength he's going to be amazing. Right now he is to quick/fast for OT's to block (especially when he's in the wide rush position).
well we know one thing for sure.. he's good at sprinting after a quarterback in obvious passing situations!
Fine by me since the rest of the defense struggles with it.
His length makes it hard for the QB to find someone as well.
I dont remember details of Jason Berryman's game/style but he reminds me of him in that he is slim (for a DE) and really quick off the line
That play today where he got tackled and still jumped up and chased the qb down for the sack was next level.
Just here to reinforce that he was held the majority of the time today.
Right now he is listed as 6'4" 230. He really needs to hit the weight room hard this offseason and put on 15-20 pounds of muscle and get up to 250 or so. His natural bend and burst off the line is freakish. Reminds me a bit of Von Miller in college. Von Miller listed at 6'3" 250. McDonald and Bailey will be a pretty dynamic duo at defensive end next year.
We saw "beast mode" today. Beast Mode next year will be even better. Happy to be here for the ride!
Still very thin, but his potential is sky high. I think our expectations were about a year early, but certainly not out of line.
I think one of the reasons they tried him at LB this offseason was because he wasn’t putting on weight. I think he’s a guy you just let develop
rather than place into a position
Absolute stud and freak athlete. I agree that the play he got tackled, hopped back up and chased down the QB was a thing of beauty. Put on some weight and learn the position some more and he could be a terror for us that teams have to game plan around.
