I was sitting here watching videos of him, he's spoken highly of. Something about those guys from the area where they're from, that long hair, and hard hard work ethic. I see a young Troy Polamalu out there for us!

I can see him making big stops for us on 3rd downs or making a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage! Anyone else excited, please give your thoughts

I don’t share your same optimism but it sure would be nice to have this type of guy in our linebackers room. Here’s to hoping your right.

My prediction is he's one of those players that is good enough to see the field, but not good enough to get consistent starts. Probably a solid depth/rotational piece for the Cowboys for four years and then walks in free agency.

Seems like a strong IQ & motor guys, but lacks strength and is a very ordinary athlete. The college tape showed a guy who guessed a lot on his reads and it got him in trouble. Guys typically do this because they need that extra fraction of a second to be in position to make a play. In the NFL that gets even more exploited as the OL in this league are all excellent athletes too. I just struggle to see him being much more than a coverage specialist, although I think he could really good in that department.

I already told you.

A good special teams guy.

I don't see you questioning OP who called a 3rd round LB from Notre Dame a young Troy Polamalu just because they have the same hair I guess.

All I did was ask are you familiar with his play you are the one who made the claim of what he is. You said he was a special teams player and I’m just asking why do you feel that way if you’ve never seen him play?

Still not sure how you properly evaluate any LB's with a subpar DLine.
