He looked like a tackling machine out there. On defense and even special teams he was flying down the field an making open field tackles. He's so fast and tracks the ball carrier well. Stock way up after preseason game 2 and 3. He's so much better at his reads and angles. The speed and athleticism really shows. One of the bright spots in a spotty overall team preseason.
He's looking a lot better, but he still over ran and completely missed some plays but it wasn't mentioned by the announcers because he ended up completely out of the play.
He had that issue in college too, but he was playing in a very different system in college. Honestly he's looking like he's taken a leap since last year in his reading and his speed was always visible.
I don't get how people haven't yet learned than LBs are getting smaller and that's okay.
