He is a DE/OLB from Texas, and could be a huge mid-round steal. He has the body of a Shawne Merriman, at 6-3, 275 and runs a 4.6 - 4.7 forty. Does anyone know more about him? I think he could project into a wonderful 3-4 OLB. I would project him to go around early 4th round pick, and he could be good for us with our 3rd rounder if we don't adress the LB need earlier in the draft. What do you think?

i havent heard anything about the guy but if all you say is true he sounds like a steal of the draft. and with his height he would be a perfect fit

Hes a lunch pail blue collar kinda guy. Plays hard and was overshadowed most of his career by Crowder. I dont know if has the athleticism or speed to play OLB, thats what makes Merriman so good.

i saw him play, the kid may only run a 4.6 but on gameday, he is 4.3 honestly i didnt even know he was in this years draft

6-3/275/4.3

not to shavyy

No, he doesn't run a 4.3 though. Truly, I am not sure what this guy is talking about... The problem with him ACTUALLY is that he may not be fast enough to play OLB in a 3-4. He would be a wonderful DE in a 4-3, but the question is really whether he is fast enough as a LB. He has the size, and personally I think he is fast enough, but he runs a 4.7, period.

lol i know, i was being sarcastic. if we could look at him in the third, he might have a shot.
