I think he's a great player and a nice prospect, but I simply don't see what I saw with guys like kuechly and Willis. Hell, I wouldn't take him over a healthy Myles jack or Jaylon smith let alone the aforementioned.
I didn't even touch on the concussions or the knee issues he was experiencing, which he himself alluded to as the reason for losing 15 lbs in the off-season.
show me these plays on reuben foster's tape. this is what a top 5 draft pick at ILB looks like. you don't have to look for him, he just jumps off the screen more than anyone else. One-man wrecking crew.
feet heat from the second the ball is snapped. textbook technique on taking on the center. uses his hips and hands to stand up the center and keeps his eyes in the backfield. beats the block and makes the tackle. amazing technique, even better athlete.
this is what elite instinct look like. gets downhill the second the ball is snapped. Absolutely no hesitation or wasted steps. blows up the puller in the hole and makes the tackle himself. Special player. It's a shame he blew up his knee.
