yup, never been shifty. good blocker and pass catcher and i can see him becoming a good special teams guy. not a star in the league by any stretch.

coming back won't really improve his draft status, but it'll improve my saturdays in the fall.

mad at himself for not making 150 tackles, coming back. could make himself a very high pick but you're probably right about him not being that elite top level athlete.

he's terrible. i hope he gets some fool sucker team to give him money because i don't hate in house like that, but goddam he is not an nfl safety. hell he was barely a big 12 safety. addition by subtraction. hell he makes brodney pool look like ed reed.
