I'm just hoping there is no hidden issue like we had with EJ. Kid seemed like such a stud on film, the lack of huge-time offers have me wondering wtf.
Let's hope your LB evals are better than your QB evals .
I know this might be splitting hairs here, but I always liked LBs that knew the RB position. I thought it helped as an LB to know the way the offense flows for an RB.

Will see time and lots of it this fall.
Personally, I've seen so much indecision/confusion out of our defense that it's hard for me to predict or get excited about how any one player transitions into it in its current form. I guess that might be a threadjack but it's my perspective on the situation.
Any of you who have seen him live care to give a bit more of a breakdown on his game? There's not a great deal to take away from the film provided other than he's big, has a good short area burst and is solid with pursuit angles. He stands straight up a lot (sometimes jumps), fairly raw and roaming around mostly. Hard to get a clean look. I wanna be excited about an incoming LB.
The last incoming LB I've been really excited about is Jermaine Grace. I think Grace is a potential NFL player without a great fit in how we currently play defense. Hoping he makes a jump this year.
