Jordan Evans recorded a 4.5 40 time at his pro day, which would have been 2nd-fastest time for LBs in 2016 Combine (Yes, I know that typically Pro Day 40 times are about 0.1 faster than Combine). He also was very good in coverage in college. He is the definition of an athletic LB.
I'm favor of getting another LB and especially one that's athletic and fast but people saying the Bengals have "no" athletic, fast LBs are wrong. And just being fast and athletic doesn't mean you'll be a great LB, especially against the run.
Flowers was also an athletic LB here once upon a time but didn't quite work out. You can be athletic and not be good, you can be good and not be super athletic. I think we just need a good linebacker...
