Sooners legend lets everyone know that OU has a beast waiting to be unleashed on the defensive side of the ball

The Oklahoma Sooners have had some dominant players come through Norman on their way to great NFL careers. We all know them, but just to name a few -- Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and I could keep going forever.

One thing the Sooners used to do a ton was produce elite defensive talents. Under Brent Venables, they have started doing that again, but when Lincoln Riley was the head coach, they were known almost exclusively for their offense and the players on that side of the ball.

Guys like Gerald McCoy were elite defensive linemen before that and made it to the NFL to have great careers after being dominant for the Sooners. He is also one of the biggest supporters of the program when it comes to his post-playing career. He's OU everything, even after a long career with the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

So, it's safe to say that the six-time Pro Bowler with 9 career NFL sacks knows a thing or two about defensive line play. And, he thinks the Sooners have a beast ready to be unleashed in defensive lineman Gracen Halton.
