At 5'11" he's going to have a tough time matching up with NFL TE's.  He's undersized as a LB.  He gets fooled easily by ball fakes, makes bad reads, and takes bad angles which nullifies a lot of that speed.  He has issues making open field tackles, which he will especially need to do if you play him at WLB.  He doesn't get off blocks.  He generated one turnover in 3 years of college ball.  He disappeared in games.  Only 10 more solo tackles than assisted tackles.  Basically, he's undersized and a better athlete than he is a football player.
