One positive thing he has is a don't quit attitude on his pursuit. In his highlights, he plays until the whistle. Very encouraging.

The part of me that's afraid that he won't live up to the hype is just because I don't like that we're having him play backer.  

Moving players from their strengths never seems to work out too well for us.

The fact that we're only in a 4-3 about 25 or 30% of the time does make me feel better, and I do think he's stout enough and aggressive enough to be a solid backer, but I just think that we'd be misusing him if we play him at backer because he was a top pass rusher in this draft and only fell to the fourth because of the injuries.

Who knows, though, because maybe we'll just have him be aggressive at backer, always filling holes and blitzing the quarterback.

My main concern, though, is that he's only 16-years-old!
