Few players took advantage of the 2021 season quite like Western Michigan edge defender Ali Fayad.
He had a dominant shortened 2020 campaign, but Fayad exploded with the best year of his collegiate career this past season, placing fourth in the FBS with 13 sacks. He was a constant force to reckoned with in MAC backfields, being named the MAC Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts.
Draft Wire had the chance to speak exclusively with Fayad about his breakout year, his experience at the Shrine Bowl, his high-effort playing style, and much more.
