Colts defensive end Yannick Ngakoue sacks Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson on Oct. 7, 2022, in Denver.In Las Vegas, he played under position coach Rod Marinelli, a mentor of Eberflus and someone who Ngakoue said “saw something in me.” Marinelli used to tell Ngakoue he had some of the same attributes as former Bears All-Pro Julius Peppers, and he just has “to tap into that skill set and just show the world.
“I guess he’s full tilt when he practices, and he keeps himself in great shape,” Eberflus said. “He’s very mindful of his body and how he stays in great shape to be able to go hard like that.

You can’t take a play off and that takes being in great shape, and you’ve got to have that mentality.
