19 tackles in the orange bowl. yea big performance ona big stage. great instincts and underrated in coverage i LOVED this pick, i think he will start at WILL and move to MIKE if robinson cannot stay healthy
the comments from Reese, McAdoo, Ross on front page.
They say he can play all three linebacker spots but seem to be leaning towards MLB...though obviously that can change.
He's an old school linebacker....a stack-and-shed type who plays physical at the point-of-attack. He's not a run around the block guy (though he is adept at sifting through trash).
Breakdown with videos. To me he looks like an ideal MLB. He plays his best between the tackles and covering over the middle. I think he might be most effective here, he doesn't posses the best speed to play and cover the edges full time. I think he would be great behind Snacks and Hankins, plays the run very well between the tackles.
If he can fill the MLB position we are so much better off, as he
is more rangy than Brinkley and hits harder than Robinson. Let Robinson fight it out with Thomas for WILL. We're gonna need a guy to step into the hole and stuff EE when Dallas plays us, and he seems more suited to it than the rest of our guys.
However many teams were interested

ran a 7.05 in the three cone
4.69 in the 40...he has good enough speed especially in short bursts
regardless he plays well in space and he can play all three LBer spots
