Defensive ROTY?

[acer941]

Never thought he would be in the running for the honors when they made the draft pick. I admit I was totally wrong about the guy..

Alot of studs this year. Chubb, James, Ward having big years. Good thing just to be in the running

And LVE is just getting started

Fantastic. I loved the pick. When lee was out we couldn’t do anything. With lve he’s taken over for lee and has made an immediate impact. 6th in league in tackles. It’s great

Loved the pick. Imagine him dominating the middle for at least the next decade.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Was not sold on him basically bc of his lack of football experience-- but I understood why they drafted him. His athletic measurables were off the charts and Lee's injury history made it a no brainer.

Nice to see that his athletic talent is already paying dividends on the field. I thought it might take him a year or two to develop-- but he's already contributing meaningful snaps. Great pick. Looking fwd to him and Jaylon dominating the middle of our defense for the next 10 years

Wow, never even thought about this!

Hated the pick. Love what I've seen from him. Thus far wouldn't trade him for any other player we could've had at that spot. IF he's going to play like this then you can't even justify trading up for James and losing a 3rd or 4th rounder.

Yeah I'm not going to lie, I was unimpressed with this pick back in the draft. But I was wrong, like usual, and happy that I was wrong, like usual

Basically saying LVE is having the best rookie year so far out of any linebacker in the past decade besides Bobby Wagner.

Top 5 in Run Defense and Pass Defense out of the 70 Qualifying other Off the Ball/Outside linebackers.

Don’t forget he only started getting a lot of playing time after week 2 when Sean Lee got hurt.

I was told we didn't need a LB.

 

[Ranching]

I knew he would be a stud!!!!

 

[GenoT]

Whether he ends up DROY or not, LVE is making a difference for our team.

That’s all that matters to me.

 

[Kareemovweet]

Loved the LVE pick at the time and love it even more now so far. What I didn't love, was picking Dalton Schultz with pick 137 when we could of had Mo Hurst there.... I was sooo sure they were going to take him when he dropped that far...

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I'd love for someone to actually pull up a post draft thread and call-out all the posters that stridently crapped on the pick at the time.

You don't get to change your my mind if you were so ignorantly smug with your opinion originally.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Ward will probably get it. He will probably have 6 or 7 ints, and those or sacks are what voters really like

 

[CWR]

The colts LB has been a beast.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

There's a lot of good rookies...Fred Warner in SF has been ballin' out. Derwin James, etc.

 

[stiletto]

I thought he'd be a beast but I absolutely admit, I didn't think he'd have the impact or perform like this so soon. It is kind of ridiculous how good he has been. Extremely rare for a rookie LB..

 

[cowboyec]

if they stay between the lines...LvE will get'm.
