Serious question, Can you teach speed once you make the NFL. I don't mean going from Tony Romo speed to Lightning Bolt speed, I simply mean a "little bit" of speed??
Kiper actually said his 40 hurt his draft stock. Crazy stuff. Oh well.If we're relying upon a DT/DE having to chase down a player for 40 yards then we have a whole world of other problems.

I am crazy already.take it back or I'll go crazy on you
Suggs is who I thought of.Terrell Suggs?
Sure. I get it.There is a reason it hurt his draft stock. It obviously mattered to the teams that passed on him as long as they did.
Again, that doesn’t mean he won’t succeed in the NFL, it just doesn’t help his cause.
In my mind, high expectations are fine. This kid was productive every year of college. He will be productive in the pros, to some degree. Won’t surprise me one bit if he is in the rotation or even starting game one. There are late round selections who are raw, who don’t have technique or strength, and there are late round guys, like Greg Hardy for one, who tear it up right away because they know how to play and have already been productive, but dropped because they didn’t measure up with speed or other measurables.
I’ll take production in in college over lack of production but great measurables any day. This is why players at every position, even those for which we prefer speed, are successful every year as late rounders or even undrafted free agents.
2-3 sacks in the senior bowl and dominating practices is nothing to sneeze at.
Yeah he is a beast. He has a non stop motor and hes violent with that alpha swagger. He reminds me of James Harrison from the steelers. A bigger version.
Q: What ever happened to the Swiss Army Knife LB we had from Nebraska that was tearing things up last year before getting hurt....is he still in the mix to contribute and/or make the team?
Suggs is who I thought of.
Exactly who I thought of.
Elite collegiate pass rush production but was let down by being a tad undersized mixed with a terrible 40 time.
Baltimore drafted him in R1 and he was fine if not elite for a very long time for them.
