Justin Wilcox On Nunie Tuitele
“Nunie is a strong edge defender with quality pass rush production who projects as an outside linebacker in our defense. Not only is he big and strong, but he’s also a sound technician who shows impressive hand use with the ability to shock and shed blockers. He is strong at the point of attack and plays with a strong motor.”
