Jordan Van den Berg Perfect/Historic R.A.S...But Only 3 Sacks?

Several months ago I posted about "freaky" athletic Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan Van den Berg. When he attended Penn State, he was merely seen as a "workout warrior". But that might not have been fair, as he had to deal with PSU's militantly anti-White, mulatto HC Ben Franklin. Could he really succeed with Ben at the helm?

The "freaky" athletic Van den Berg left for Georgia Tech where he immediately blossomed into a complete player:

Van den Berg isn’t just a workout warrior. He was first-team all-ACC and earned some honorable mention All-American accolades as a senior with 11 tackles for losses as he emerged as one of the top run-stopping defensive tackles in the nation.

Yet, despite the on-field progress and athletic testing potential, he received zero invites to all-star games. None! No Senior Bowl, ect. He also failed to receive a Combine invite. His only chance to impress was at Pro Day, where he registered a perfect R.A.S. score. This ranked 2nd out of 2270 DT's from 1987 to 2026. Yet he's mostly considered a 7th round pick or undrafted free agent



Two YouTube pundits "attempted" to explain these snubs. Both came to the same conclusion that 3 sacks as senior was not enough!

A) African American, perhaps an ex-player, is very impressed by Jordan, but states here 3 sacks might not be enough for the NFL.

B) White K.C. Chiefs DWF type does a deeper dive into Jordan 10.0 R.A.S. and concludes the NFL should ignore the athletic "freak" until round 6 or 7, due to only 3 sacks and poor overall stats?

Van den Berg had 11 TFL's last season. Clemson (same conference) defensive tackle Peter Woods recorded only 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks through 12 games and he could be a first round pick

Below is a list of DT's that made ESPN's and Dan Jeremiah's (NFL.com) Top 100. None had more than 3 sacks (links below) last season and some had less than 3 in their entire careers?

Peter Woods 2 (5 career/3 years)
Kayden McDonald 3 (3 career)
Christen Miller 1.5 (4 career/3years)
Domonique Orange 0 (1 career/4years)
Caleb Banks 0 (6.5 career/4years)
Lee Hunter 2.5 (7.5 career/4years)
Darrell Jackson Jr. 1 (7.5 career/5 years)

The excuse I get when I criticize black interior d-line players when they are not productive is that I "don't know ball", that stats do not matter for defensive linemen and their impact on the game is not measured statistically.

Van Den Berg should be a 2nd/3rd round immediate starter.

Yes, Leonardfan, it's weird how stats are completely irrelevant, but only when it comes to "upsiders"?

I guess one argument the DWF's might have is the top (black) DT's can't put up big stats because they are frequently double-teamed. Good argument, but I would assume Van den Berg was also frequently doubled or even tripled teamed?

Check out this clownery:

Jordan van den Berg’s athletic traits jump off the screen on his film, splash plays galore. Lack of production led to him being snubbed from the combine, but the high number of snaps he took as a 1-tech/0-tech contribute to this—took on a lot of double/triple teams. (<excellent video hi-lights)

Again, what the heck does this joker mean by "lack production"? Why are Van den Berg's stats "lacking" compared to Daniel Jeremiah's Top 100 DT's (linked in post #1)?

They seem to be creating this totally false narrative that all these black DT's are reaching double-digit (or close) sack totals each year?

Here's a really popular defensive "sumo" the DWF's and Dan Jeremiah types really seem to love

Former UCF defensive tackle Lee Hunter transferred to Texas Tech for an NIL package reported to be between $1.8 million and $1.9 million. A key part of Texas Tech’s elite 2025 defense, Hunter used his NIL earnings to purchase a house for his mother, buy two 18-wheelers for his brother's business, and support his daughter.

Here's the "athlete", according to R.A.S. numbers, that Texas Tech got for nearly 2 million (for one season)?

That's a great example of racial bias, Truthteller. I hope any and all lurkers and "best talent plays" peeps get to see that as it illustrates what white athletes deal with day by day.

The caste system is based on subjectivity not objectivity it is DEI not that goober fantasy of the NFL being a meritocracy. Anyway the Packers sure won't take him since The Cuck is already on the hook for Van Ness not being the next NFL sack leader.

Speak of the devil. Read the second paragraph under the Bengals grade.

Van Den Berg is my favorite DT in the class!

He’d be seen as a 1st rd pick if he was Nigerian, and not a White South African.

Great research as always TT! I wonder in NFL teams are more “in the know” than these draft dorks and senior bowl gatekeepers. Would be nice to see him go in the 3rd round or early on day 3.

As we’ve said many times, the Caste System is right there for those with eyes to see and ears to hear….

Thanks Freethinker and Backrow. If there was ever a clear cut case of racial bias (via the NFL Draft) that had to be "litigated" and had a shot to win, this could be the one put forth. Will never happen, I suppose, but this is so egregiously clear cut that even a fool can say, this is weird and makes little sense?

Freethinker, I was looking at Braden Fiske's (Rams) college stats. Florida State (2023): 13 games, 43 tackles (17 solo), 9.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks. That's about good as it gets, stats wise, for a big time college DT. Even with that, several draft nerds/cucks/dweebs employed by notable media companies were claiming at the 2024 Senior Bowl he would be better suited to play center in the NFL. This is not a joke, several did suggest this!

Bucky put it best, if Van den Berg was named Barack Okafor from Nigeria, he'd be a slam dunk Top 10 pick. Heck, if his name was LeSeanDon Johnson (King of Queens reference), who grew up with a single mom in a U.S. ghetto he'd be a top 20 pick, at worst.

Jordan Van den Berg is a DT prospect in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 10.00 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 2 out of 2270 DT from 1987 to 2026.

In case anyone is wondering who ranked 1st (ahead of VdB) in R.A.S. scoring at DT, it's current Philadelphia DT Jordan Davis, who was selected 13th overall (2022 NFL Draft).

Davis final year stats (college) included 5 TFL's and 2 sacks. Again, Van den Berg stats where 11 TFL's and 3 sacks. Given his athletic testing and stats it would be almost impossible to explain, by even the cuckiest of draft dweebs, if he goes round 6 or 7, or even undrafted.

Wile, Green Bay and Tampa Bay are two teams that have brought Jordan in for a Top 30 visit. I assume Tampa would be a much better spot than Green Bay for him, at least with the teams' current GM's track record. Here are 2 detailed, informative and well done breakdowns of Van den Berg, via Packers fan sites

Great overall work Leonardfan!

Great job, all around, Leonardfan

All things considered, I think Joe Burrow should get the heck out of Cincinnati. The days of that team being a serious contender seem to be long gone. I guess coming very close to winning a Super Bowl and having perennial playoff caliber teams with relatively White friendly rosters (by NFL standards)*** are over? They are now going back to the Marvin Lewis era, mostly all-black teams -- and coal black defenses. Thanks, in particular, to caste-cuck D.C. Al Golden-showers.

Last year, they tried to replace future Hall of Fame DE Trey Hendrickson with a first round DE (edge rushing specialist) that had 1.5 sacks in each of his 3 college seasons -- 4.5 career sacks total! Again, edge-rushing "specialist", not space-eating DT!

Now, they give up the #10 overall pick for a rapidly aging/declining DT that had 0.5 sacks total last year. This only happened because almost all their recent D-picks have been busts. Mina Kimes of ESPN always destroys the Bengals for their drafting of defensive players (all black) the last 5 years!

***This 2024 Score Football set shows how a few White defensive stars helped the Bengals. Only 3 defensive veterans earned a card; all 3 were Whites that played at a Pro Bowl or near Pro Bowl level. Might have to go back to Jared Allen, Harrison Smith and Chad Greenway to see a Topps/Score White defensive "hat trick".

How rare is this? Not sure, for example, if the Jets or Giants have had 3 White defensive players (total) earn a Topps/Score cards over the last 30 years combined? Very few defensive veterans (of any race) earn cards in modern sets, which are overloaded with black rookie cards that will eventually bust and be totally worthless.

Score 2024 loaded up the set with black rookies. Bengals 2024 six (all black) have been deemed busts thus far by DWF's and media.

I quit making draft predictions then and just go back to losing money on stock picks. Thanks for the info, all of you do great work.

Thank you Wile, always enjoy your input. Reality is, Packers will likely not draft Van den Berg, as players usually say they are selected by teams they have the least contact with. I guess if teams really want a player, they try not "tip their hand" regarding their interest?

I should have spent more time on the first part of your original post rather than responded about the Packers longshot. You put it succinctly and accurately. This is absolutely true: The caste system is based on subjectivity not objectivity.

We see this over and over again, year-after-year. Nothing makes sense. When a White player is an "athletic freak", he's flawed on the field? When a White posts "huge stats", his issue is usually a lack of athletic ability? Van den Berg is a case where they have to go the extra mile to explain this racial "snub".

Here's a farcical "scouting report" for Jordan: Georgia Tech DL Jordan Van Den Berg

Having graduated from the Scouting Academy and worked in recruiting at the college level, he is well-versed in player evaluation and started scouting NFL Draft prospects in 2019. He also serves as an analyst for Pro Football Focus and has a background in analytics. Within his articles, Matt likes to find the intersection between numbers/statistics and film study.... former DIII football player and recruit evaluator.

First off, what the heck is the Scouting Academy? I'm not even going to spend time googling it! I assume it's "Aunt Crissie's" scam job (Pro Football Focus) he founded, which J.J. Watt and dozen's of other notable players have repeatedly claimed put out flawed NFL player rankings, which they eventually use to heavily push their agenda's on Sunday Night Football.

Also, I wonder if the Scouting Academy has actual buildings? How about a women's lacrosse team? Or a Student Union or cheer-leading squad? Talk about Clown world? A break down of the "Scouting Academy" should be placed in CF thread "We are living in a cartoon"

There are approximately 240–246 NCAA Division III football teams in the United States, according to the 2025 season data.

Click to expand...

Also claims the writer/scout played DIII football, but gives no indication where or when or how good he was? There are a ton of DIII programs that play in front of crowds smaller than regional high schools. Was he a notable player or a 4th string long snapper or punter? Was he a 210 pound, 5th string defensive tackle for three weeks only or a 4 year star quarterback? Also what college did he work for as a "recruit evaluator"? Was it an unpaid DIII job or a paid Big Ten gig?

Below are Jordan's "alleged" flaws.

- van den Berg will be an older rookie after turning 24 in mid-April. He's also a sixth-year senior who played for two Power 4 conference programs and still has significant technique issues.
- First-step footwork is inconsistent, sometimes false-stepping, stepping with the wrong foot or hopping out of his stance.
- Bends at the waist instead of the knees to get low, which can cause him to be off-balance and end up on the ground when taking on blocks.
- Uses his head first when engaging with offensive linemen and often has his head down at the point of contact, leading to no extension and making it impossible to shed blocks.
- Block recognition is late and has subpar gap integrity, leading to him being out of position occasionally, especially against reach or scoop blocks.
- Doesn't use his hands as a pass-rusher either, and lacks leg drive through contact, making his bull rush ineffective.

Looks like total made-up, fabricated bull-s*it. Type of nonsense Colin Cowherd has spewed out for years. Sound like you know what your talking about, even if it's totally made up B.S!

Okay, if all above is true (player sounds like a talent lacking 3rd string walk-on), how does this "trained scout" explain the Perfect R.A.S., coupled with this X post:

I really should keep my hands off the keyboard when it comes to the draft, and if I were to comment just leave it at this "about the same as last year and the years before."

Leftists have no care in the world for facts. And the Right has no desire nor inclination to seek out the Left's weaknesses and exploit them. But then again the vast majority of the people on the Right are decent caring people that blanch at the psychological pressure that must be placed upon a target so as to remove that obstacle. And that is why the Right lives in its bubble of OUTRAGE & Essays, comforting, not confrontational.
