He is a bit slow however which means he will likely be used as a big run stopper. He can always improve his speed and agility through certain drills. He seems like a solid prospect and has good size straight out of high school. Don't players' times usually get slower as the progress and get bigger and stronger? Either because the timing is more accurate or just different conditioning goals... see e.g. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/3/1/4038740/2013-nfl-combine-high-school-40-yard-dash-times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tashon Whitehurst is also a speedy LB. You want a more solid LB in the middle to stop the run especially if you have the luxury of speed from the OLB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has the physique, so I'm hoping this staff can coach him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill runs up the middle have always been our kryptonite so having a big guy at mike who loves to hit hard will be a welcome addition to our defense.

He worked out pretty well on our defense, always making a play when we needed it. His name is slipping my mind right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
