I will always take the elite wrestling talent for long term success when things are similar. I saw a video of him wrestling with Sean Strickland yesterday and you can see how insanely fast and agile he is for his size, even though he probably hasn’t wrestled in four years.
Yeah, I saw that. Here it is if anyone else is interested.

I definitely like the wrestling background. It has certainly helped Tyler Linderbaum in the NFL. Still think Ratledge (also a multi-sport athlete coming out of high school) was the better prospect.
