Check this out. What say you?

Great story, this is what Kiper has to say

What Kiper said: “Lanning’s interesting because ... quarterback turned linebacker, that doesn’t happen very often. You talk about what (Iowa State coach) Matt Campbell had to say about him, he was revered out there in Ames. The kid gives you everything he has, blood, sweat — everything, he lays it all on the line. And to me, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he got drafted late. He’s the kind of kid that, with his overall versatility and love for the game and toughness, yeah, he can be another guy that’s going to help you on special teams. (He has) versatility (so) if you get injured at quarterback, you could always do that in a pinch. So, yeah, I think late rounds for Lanning and it’s a great story.”

This kid is old school. He reminds me of a NE player. He goes wherever the team needs him.

I would not be upset if we threw a 6th or 7th at him. He will definitely give max effort on and off the field. He will be a great locker room guy.

this is a guy u want on your team
he will actually get better as a LB. he was a qb most of college career.
great for our special team especially on punt team as single caller.

He reminds me of Bill Bates.

No need for such a comment.

Tradeoff between brains/work-ethic and athleticism.

Luckily some brain/work-ethic types do have the athletic ability and result in the best players Witten/Lee/Martin/Frederick.

Bill Bates had 5 TDs one game and 20 tackles in another same season, heck don't think he did that in any level.
