love this guy. the difference between him and a lot of fast athletes playing linebacker, is he can get in the scrum and crack some pads. so you combine his elite burst, with the willingness to throw a forearm shiver at a 300-pounder, and great tackling...yeah, I'll sign up for that on my team.

still developing in coverage, but you can put him over a tight end or back and he has the speed to run with them until the whistle. he eats up the same ground in zone; I'd drop him as an underneath robber so he can chase and destroy crossing routes on third down. or just blitz him -- he explodes past guards on A-gap runs, right into the quarterback's "oh fuck" part of the pocket.

modern day inside linebacker who'll be just 20 years old when the 2018 NFL season starts. only going to get better.
