Very excited about this pick. I think it may turn out to be our best one.
This guy is 6'2" 241 lbs. Ran a 4.53 at the combine. Benched 24 reps. he is obviously ripped.
Most importantly, he led a good defense in tackles 3 straight years. This year, they were fourth in the country overall, second in run defense, where we are hurting.
In the bowl game against Notre Dame, he had 9 tackles and an interception. Also a big game vs. Oklahoma.Like the others here, I want him to pound those N.E. tight ends!!
Not sure if he will start this year. Hell, even Daryl Talley didn't start as a rookie. But he will definitely play and be a special teams monster. Kirk Morrison, watch out.
