2008 Season - Day 5 - D-Line Greyson Gunheim

The Raiders added more depth to the defensive line by adding Greyson Gunheim, DE, Washington. Gunheim measures in at 6′5″, 252 lbs, and runs a 4.85 40 yard dash. The positives are he’s got long arms, big hands, adequate awareness and technique, has a good motor, and is a relentless pass rusher. The negatives are his lack of top end speed and overall athleticism. Sound like a former first round pick who recently signed with the Panthers? Yeah, this guy sounds a lot like Brayton. Apparently he’s always in the backfield, but rarely makes the big play due to his inability to get around the end in time. Last season, he had 41 tackles, 11 for loss, 6.5 sacks, 1 interception, and 4 passes defensed. Pretty good stats for a guy that doesn’t have a really good draft grade.
