No thank you. That guy is a DB.
Don't remember that last part, and don't really care much.
I, like you, was elated when he was the first pick. I thought his floor was a solid, productive player. Though I was a bit let down when they converted him to LB, I was still confident he'd be at least solid. He had some injury issues in his rookie year if I remember correctly, but finished that year fairly strong. Then comes year two and that fateful game in Cleveland. Pollack, Richie Braham, and (essentially) Tab Perry lost in that single game. If my memory is correct it was really his fault the injury happened though, as he did lower his helmet and made contact with the top of it. Doesn't take away from the tragedy of it though.
