Upon his arrival, Roche made it clear he was not just trying to use the transfer season as a springboard for his NFL stock, and that, instead, he wanted to contribute by helping the team win and being a leader: “I’m going to do everything right on and off the field and I’m going to teach as much as I can and still learn as much as I can.” Roche said on the Inside The NFL Prospects podcast, displaying a key leadership trait that NFL teams should revere.

When Rousseau opted out for the season, the expectations for Miami’s disruptive pass rush were slightly tempered as it was unclear how other fellow draft prospect and 2020 breakout, Jaelan Phillips, would contribute on the opposite end of Roche after not playing since 2018.
