Other than maybe technique, Im not really on board with the Kirkpatrick comparison.
Dre was 180 pounds and ran a 4.6, not athletic.
Ringo, again is only 20 yrs old, so technique would be his flaw. He is almost 210 pounds and runs a 4.3.

Lou being a DB coach could probably mold this kid into a solid player.

I explicitly stated my comparison is that he'll have some plays where he just gets whooped.
Kirkpatrick was notorious for that in his career.
I wasn't comparing size/speed.
But FWIW, Kirkpatrick's and Ringo's 3-cone was practically identical (7.20 vs 7.21).
Broad jump was about identical (10'0" vs 10'2").
DK had a better vert (35" vs 33.5").
DK didn't run the shuttle back then, so can't compare there.

My worry with Ringo is while he's fast in a straight line, can he stick with receivers when they shift?
From what I've watched of Ringo, I'm worried he can't. Although I will say that from the vids I watched earlier this winter, it turned me away from him and thus I didn't care to find more.
