Here he is committing defensive PI. Has starting experience. Will compete with Al Shazzam, Lee, and Nachoez for a roster spot.

I remember watching this play and thinking that was kind of a rough call against the Cardinals' defender. Unless there's some grabbing going on that's tough to see?

There was some grabbing and hand fighting between the 30-25 yard line (hard to see in gif).

I think so

I think he's a small upgrade over Lee.

LMAO. Lee is a free agent but yeah, this guy is replacing his ST tackles.

This is how you build a championship roster. You trade guys like buckner, refuse to re-sign guys like Sanders and re-sign guys like Ward and AA.

This guy will ease that burden...

lol there it is, the white LB comparison.

You want me to compare him to Patrick Willis? Both Walker and Croyle were pretty similar LB's in college. Walker is a little more explosive but Croyle is largely what you can expect, a guy who can be a good special teamer but you don't want him starting at LB...ever.

White LB, as well as white WR always get compared to eachother. Its just a comedic truth that is decades old. Not saying its good or bad, just funny because its so predictable.
Hoping he is our new Chris Borland (without the retirement) or Jeff Ulbrich. Heck, I'll even take Derek Smith!

All those guys are heady overachievers
