Summary He is one of the hottest in this draft and he has shot up the draft charts in the last several months and is now the NO.1 LB...he is a very productive and durable player that grows on you the more you watch him...he can play MLB or OLB and combines exc size with good AA and movement...he has exc range and plays sideline to sideline...he has good strength at the POA and will take on blocks and fill the hole...he is an exc open field tackler and he has good instincts and great competitiveness...he fights to make every play and he never takes a play off...for a big physical LB, he has solid cover skills, he drops naturally in the zone and he can even play some M to M coverage...he seems to have good pass defense instincts and has always in the right place...gets an exc jump on the ball and seems to be a very prepared and aware player at all times...he is rare in the fact that he is not just a first and second down player, he is not always flashy in terms of speed or spectacular plays, but this guy is a warrior that sets the tone for defense...he will probably settle in at MLB as long as he is willing to be picked, but he will be a rare player in the fact that he can stay in the lineup in nickle situations and won’t be a liability in pass defense...he has a chance to develop into and outstanding NFL MLB and there are alot of teams standing in line to draft this guy.
