Showed flashes on special teams and for that he earned a little playing time as a LB during a game, and they 'still didnt realize everything they had in him.... until he played a whole game at LB. Now he's being talked about as a potential HOF guy by some sportswriters.

Mike Singletary was one of the best defenders ever in college, and yet he still slid into the 2nd round I think didnt he? His size, lack of speed, etc.  We all know how that turned out.

Scouting reports only tell part of the story imo. I love reading them but they are based on the players playing within a system and a team and doing what they were asked to do then. With new teams, new players around them, potentially more confidence, harder work, different schemes, etc....all that combined could also make or break a player. My hope is that our picks make and not break lol.

Good post.  The part that really encourages me is his smarts and intensity.  That is definitely reminiscent of London Fletcher.  If he turns out like Fletcher I will be SO excited.  Plus, Fletcher was the guy that called out our last LB coach for stupidity.   I'm hoping with the change in personnel and coaching we'll have a revival at the LB position!
