His neck suggests to me he's closer to being maxed out physically. He doesn't have the rangier body type where you can stack 15-20 lbs on him and it will only make him more explosive. His hips are tight, and he plays upright like a safety. He will get trucked in the BIG if he doesn't correct that. I do like that he has long arms and quick twitch but 5 stars seems like a stretch. He is a good prospect though. I would be happy to have him. 2 Quote Link to comment

Because based off of our recent pick ups at OLB he doesn’t seem to fit the height/length mold. Unless he could put on a decent 30-40 pounds and sit as an ILB. Quote Link to comment

I don't see him as a box safety, because I don't think he has good enough hip flexibility for coverage at the next level. He is more of a runner hitter type. He has really short legs, and a choppy running style. If he puts on 20 lbs, he will look a lot like how Cory Cooper ran, which was awkward at best. I would put ten lbs on him and let his straight line speed make up for everything. He has to sink his hips though. Quote Link to comment

It seems too small for a linebacker position. I was with you on the thought that he seemed overhyped, I don’t have the eye for hip flexibility or understanding of running styles and fluidity. But I just don’t know if his overall athleticism isn’t what makes him a great HS player and that he may play well in college but that’s about it. Any thoughts on projection for him through college to an NFL spot. I ask more to see how you think, as you seem to have an eye for more specific abilities than a height/weight build.

I think he can be incredibly productive in college and in the NFL, I just wouldn't put 5 stars next to his name. 5 stars essentially have no athletic or body flaws. I can see him struggling his first year, and needing time to develop or find the right spot. The BIG would be the toughest league for him to get adjusted to. Quote Link to comment
