Vigil 6'2 239 at combine,, Keuchly 6'3 242 at combine.
Vigil 5th in tackles Senior Year, Keuchly 1st in tackles Senior year.
Comparing a player on their skill sets and style to another player (even if that player is better) happens all the time and is not that far fetched.
Completely different players.
I watched the tape on Vigil, and his cover skills are supbar.
Keuchly on the other hand has the best cover skills of any LB ive ever watched.
There are some similarities in play style inside the box, but I really don't think they are that similar other than size, position and sadly skin color.
Vigil is closer to Laurinitis to me (sticking with the white comparisons).
Vigil said himself he compares himself to Bobby Wagner. Wagner has smaller size, but they come from the same defense and play much alike eachother, IDK why we cant compare him to Wagner, cuz Wagner is great and they really are similar players.
