We could also play around with disguises that have Bates playing middle and this kid playing single high out of blitz packages and our base cover 2.
If that 4.3 speed really translates and hes intelligent enough to make plays in zone, he opens up a whole new bag of plays for Lou. He did have a solid number of passes defended in this past year so he does have the ability to get around the ball in zone.
