Social media reacts to the Chargers’ selection of EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu

Here is @dpbrugler on Tuli Tuipulotu: "There are a few concerning areas about his game, but Tuipulotu finds his way to the football because of his pass-rush instincts, natural power and relentless effort — and that should continue in the NFL."

I think Tuli Tuipulotu is more of your Morgan Fox long term replacement than a long term edge rusher personally.

Tuli Tuipulotu was drafted with pick 54 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He does not qualify for a #RAS due to a lack of measurements. https://t.co/mPEqcQD8SU pic.twitter.com/koLvMzusR5

The Chargers go with EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu in round two over guys like Darnell Washington.

EDGE rushers went quickly in round two and it feels like a bit of a reach, but I liked him. Great motor, good strength and inside/out versatility.

Only 19 NCAA defensive linemen/edge rushers logged 400 pass-rushing snaps in 2022. Tuli Tuipulotu ranked second in pass-rush win rate at 19.1%.

Tuli Tuipulotu to CHARGERS!

Tuli, at 6'3 266, had a breakout 2022 with 46 tkls, 22 tfls (#2 in FBS) and 13.5 sacks (best in FBS).

He has great short-area quickness, a motor that never stops and heavy hands that pry open blocks and allow him to shoot gaps and make plays. pic.twitter.com/0BPW7Keqlx
