The countdown continues and our number fourteen prospect in college football is...

Defensive End Greg Romeus, Pittsburgh (Senior):

The Skinny: Many wondered why Romeus returned for his red-shirt senior campaign following his season as Big East Defensive Player of the Year. It says here that it was a wise decision considering that the Pittsburgh defensive end only started playing football during his senior year of high school. Romeus understands that he has to add some seasoning to his game and improve his all-around technique to tap into his full potential. The first thing that stands out about the All-Big East man is that he passes the eye test with flying colors. Standing at 6’6” and 270 pounds the Pittsburgh defensive end has the prototypical body of an NFL edge rusher. Romeus is an outstanding combination of burst, fluidity, length and strength. His lack of top-end speed may keep make him from developing into a double-digit sack man on a yearly basis at the next level, but he counters that with his deft run-stuffing ability. Romeus has improved each year since arriving at Pittsburgh and if he builds on last season, this Panther should emerge as a first rounder in 2011.
