Stop getting confused, did i say flagg was the most athletic or best linebacker in college, i said he's a program building type of guy, meaning he'll give his al, on special teams and for the team period. We got alot of guys on this team who think they are to good or scared toplay special teams. Which means their mindsets are jacked up, when this team has the right mindset, you had guys chomping at the bit just to get on the field, i dont need to run the list down of the Greats who came thru here and consistently played special teams. Anybody that's ever played football and Loved the game, never wanted to come off the field, flagg is that type of guy and is not afraid to compete against more athletic guys. His one on one game in camps will almost never look elite, but his in game play in a defensive system is where he'll excel.
The same can be said about jaquan, in a one on one matchup, jaquan would lose that battle most times against the more athletic guys, but plug him on the field and in a system, he's going to ball out cause his football I.Q. is high, no football player is just going to stumble upon the amount of production that flagg and Tirek had at the highschool level.
