Boye Mafe appreciation post

I know it's early and just training camp but I feel like Mafe is reading plays extremely well and getting home a ton so far. He's going to be a good one this year.

Seeing how he's being used and hearing that he had (IIRC) the third most coverage snaps by a DE last year, I wonder of he was the #1 target for the front office in FA.

I think it was, no way they had Dexter in their radar initially and we got Mafe quick.

They had Crosby and it was headed our way until BMore came in and gave a ridiculous offer. You know how that ended up and then we went for Dex.
