Last year as a true freshman, LSU defensive end Arden Key burst onto the scene in a big way.
The 6-foot-6, 238-pound Atlanta native accrued 5.0 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss. His combination of length and scary athleticism makes him potentially the next great defensive end to hail from Baton Rouge.
LSU OLB/DE Arden Key has done the math and says he has a goal of 20 sacks this season. You read correctly — 20 sacks.

Key has set a goal for himself to get 20 sacks this upcoming season. Former Penn State DE Carl Nassib led the nation a year ago with 16 sacks. In fact, since 2005, Elvis Dumervil has been the only player to achieve such a feat.
Call it foolish or overly confident, but the rising sophomore will certainly be a player to watch for in 2016.
