what's everyone's take on him? I watch him and he seems like a really good athlete, similar to Zo Carter, but much thinner. You think he has the frame to add substantial weight to be a force as a pass rusher? To me he looks almost like a wide receiver playing an edge rusher. He also seems to be a good special teams player.
He’s been very good on specials. Coaches slowly working him into some packages for rush and coverage backers. He needs work in the weight room. I expect him to have a bigger role next year. Not sure he’ll ever be a 3 down player but looks like he can make an impact as a rush/cover backer.
Will be interesting over the next couple of weeks especially after the bye to see if his role is expanded.
I could easily see him getting more snaps against Seahawks or Ravens as a spy to the QB.
Pat had an SI article on him a week or so back where special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey refers to Cam as a $70M talent. So his coach is high on him.

That was exciting to read. Coaches rarely throw that around all Willy nilly, so unless he has a confidence problem it’s likely his real thoughts
Body is fine. Strength can come in the offseason.
Can he set an edge and does he have an edge rusher's lean?

Thanks Beer man. I missed that article. Defenderdawg please come back home!!!!
I used to like the threads with all the info.
Agreed. The coaches are working him in on defense as a situational pass rusher. That and being on ST is probably his ceiling, which is fine for a sixth round pick. His body frame is too lean right now to play the run. He'd be washed out of a lot of plays.
