He still put up 110 tackles, 10 TFLs, and 4 sacks in his final year at Texas. He might be better as a see-and-chase LB given his good speed and athleticism. The selection of Jefferson is interesting though in that the Bengals have typically prioritized LBs with great instincts in the draft. Perhaps Jefferson was a suggestion from Austin, who seemed to value athleticism and speed.

I think Jefferson was a selection made as kind of a rebuke to Paul Dawson.

One is extremely athletically gifted but not very instinctual.

Turns out neither formula works... You kinda need both...
