Absolutely. Everyone is a potential pro bowler in May.
Not sure if you are serious or not. Lol.
But they liked Heath because he was and is a very good athlete.
They selected him in the draft, because of that, and since he was from a small school. They wanted to take time to develop him.
But a lot of injuries they were forced to play him before he was ready. And looked ever part of a very raw rookie that had no experience against a lot better players than he seen in college.
Now, since he has been in the NFL for a while now. He hasn’t lit the position on fire by any means. But he isn’t all as bad as the usuals say either.
Not a starter but a good fill in or spot player. As well as a very good ST player.
Heath was undrafted
But he is a great backup kicker. lolHeath is a very good athlete who just cant play Safety.
I think the closest and most expensive player he is similar to is Crawford.if Taco doesn't get his head right...Joe Jackson is gonna take his spot.
Bad athletes rarely make it especially a pass rusher.
I agree about the eye test. I wanna see a guy who jumps out on tape, like the DT Oliver, but I do like the PFF stats too. It's funny how some fans will always agree with PFF when it's good for one of our own but when PFF goes against them they dismiss and discredit it.So I am not huge PFF guy but these stats are good overall. Particularly when it comes to line play (either side) I believe my eyes. When I watch him I dont see an explosive first step or great closing speed. He is good against the run and is efficient player overall. Is his role as LDE run stopping type who occasionally gets moved inside? If he makes it that is what it looks like to me.
Heath is a very good athlete w/ poor lateral agility.Heath is a very good athlete who just cant play Safety.
I hope he is just as fast in small yard bursts with on OL hands on him. I don't care if he is Hollywood henderson if he cant make difference plays.Forty Times:
- Terrell Suggs: 4.84
- Joe Jackson: 4.84
Jackson weighed 13 pounds more than Suggs when they ran the forty (275 vs 262).
