Easley will join a talented defensive line group and is expected to move alongside Vince Wilfork. His role may be even greater with CFL product Armond Armstead still struggling with his health.
Easley slipped in the draft due to tearing his ACL in the fall. However, he was back practicing as early as last week. Check the video here.
