Mature pass rush here from this CPA Def. End #PRZTN

- Payne uses his hands/arm length very well
- Understands the swim move; Good frame for added size

Potential breakout prospect to watch this Fall #PRZTN

- Payne moves well, shows explosive flashes
- Displays upside as an edge pass rusher
- Agile, fluid lower base; Has room to get bigger
