How does Shittu fit into a pro defense?  He can't get big enough to play a 3 technique, and a DE of his size has to be excellent pass rusher, which he isn't. 

He improved this year--perhaps making a push for the draft--and is athletic enough to get picked up as a let's-take-a-longer-look free agent, but unless he makes another leap upward, where would he ever play in the NFL?

Shittu doesn't get a lot of sacks, but he gets into the backfield and disrupts plays.  He easily led the team in TFLs this year.  I think he's got a chance to find a spot as a DE on a 3-4 team who uses OLBs as the primary pass rushers. 

Also, keep in mind that Shittu's stats would have been better if he didn't have play virtually every snap.  NFL teams have much deeper DL rotations than Stanford had this year, and that kind of rotation would avoid some of the fatigue that surely impacted Stanford's DL this year.
