Too big and not quick enough to get off the press.

Cutting Mayo looks like this guy is on the squad. He made a lot of plays in PS.

I love the attitude about hating the undrafted free agent label and wanting to use it as motivation. When you look at his production at Florida Atlantic he was making a ton of plays and gobbling up the tackles there.

Agreed. I love this kid, was a huge fan of his at FAU, hoping he can be a ST Ace for us.

The game is much faster now.

We need speed.

He fits the bill.

...and we have it.

Without any great fanfare, the FO has changed the nature of our LBs from primarily run-stoppers to guys that can fly to the edges as well as cover the short zones in the modern passing game. Kwon brings speed. Greenlaw is fast and replaces Smith. Al-Shaair took Mayo's spot for the same reason. All our current crew are lighter, faster guys than anyone we have had lately except for Willis before he began to have foot problems.
