Van Ness may not be the most polished prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft, but he may have one of the highest ceilings. His pass rush ability is arguably the best in the nation even though he does not have a big move repertoire. Van Ness’ lower body strength allows him to explode off the snap and quickly gain leverage. When engaging in contact, he does a good job of keeping his hands high and tight. This allows him to drive back and move blockers, applying pressure on the QB.Preview Analysis provided byDraft Dive
