Morrison III made headlines for his rapid, incredible recovery from a devastating knee injury, but his play on the field is even more impressive. At 6'1" 229 lbs, Morrison may be considered a little undersized by some to play in the middle, but his instincts make up for his lack of stature. He has sideline to sideline range and terrific coverage ability. He is explosive, violent and relentless when hit hits. He generally maintains great form, to break down/wrap up and rarely misses a tackle. He deduces plays very quickly and will often beat blockers to the hole. He is a tremendous blitzer and spends as much time in the backfield as many defensive line players, as highlighted by his 11 TFL in 2015. He has experience playing that seek and destroy zone LB role that Dallas uses with Lee and McClain. Morrison has played over the slot, in the middle and at time in deep coverage zones.

I really like this kid. I think he would be a tremendous player for this team and, while not being scheme specific, would fit what Marinelli does perfectly.

I really like the way he plays, just his hair being on fire might not be enough to describe how he flies all over the field. Kinda hard to imagine him staying healthy playing LB in the NFL at his size though. I've seen his stock all over the place so far, not sure I'd consider him before the 4th. Lee should be entrenched at the WIL so if we do let McClain walk we need someone who can play the Mike on a full time basis, and I'm not sure Morrison is that guy.

I have seen him, but not a lot and haven't evaluated him for draft season. I will check him out tonight or tomorrow.
