I have a question - how are we going to use the player.
I'll openly admit that I have not seen any footage of him other than the various highlights films of draft prospects.
It's correct to say he was drafted for his athletic traits rather than to play a specific role?
He's a 6-4 256lb linebacker. Likely will end up c.270lbs in the pros - bigger than some DL players. I can see potential as a run stopper and a great foil for Barkley of the Giants.
However, the trend in the NFL is towards LBs with hybrid LB/SS skills - Jaylon is one. Smaller more mobile players who can cover slot receivers and pass catching speedy running backs.
I just dont see any 270lb player - no matter how great an athlete - being able to cover small speedy turn on a dime slots such as Edelman or RBs such as Kamara.
Can this guy play in the increasing number of situations where 2 x quick mobile LBs are needed? If so, he must be the greatest athlete of all time!
