Good question

I really don't have an answer. I think they're fairly similar players, with Duke being a better tackler.

One factor that is very important: Which NFL team drafts a guy, and what defense they run. The same player can have a widely varied career track depending on which team drafts him.

I'll be the first to admit, I always used to watch ND simply as a fan. Watching a ND practice, the BG game, or a game in the fall with TerribleTr used to drive me nuts. He stayed in "coach mode", complaining about the 3 technique, and I'd be yelling at him "Dammit, Terry, I'm trying to watch the game!" Only the last year or two have I started to take a closer look at things.

That's my cop-out, and I'm stickin' to it.
