Can someone explain to me how he's projected as a top 3-5 selection? I just don't see him being that good.. maybe I'm missing something that you draft guys can explain.
Well first off he won the Butkus Award for best college linebacker and if you look at this list of players I think you can see some pattern of success.. http://www.thebutkusaward.com/watchlist/pastwinners.aspx 50 career tackles for loss as well as 32 sacks . The kids a beast and will be a great player even in a bad defense like the bills.
I've seen the numbers, I was thinking more of in-game film. The only thing that impresses me is his speed.
No. This is just from seeing some film from the 2010 season. I was just wondering what I'm missing because I wasn't wowed by his tape. I figured for a top 3 pick there's gotta be something there that I'm not seeing.
He absolutely dominated the Senior Bowl and won defensive MVP. He's fast to the QB, but can drop into coverage as well. He can be a fantastic and well rounded 3-4 OLB. Not many guys are pass rushing specialists who can play the total position. As far as pass rushing, watch 09 tape. He spent most of 2010 trying to build up the other parts of his game. SB was like his big coming out party.
Thanks for that. Being a Jets fan and pass-rush hungry I was looking for what made Miller such a dominant pass rusher (at least from what I expect out of a top 5'er) and saw nothing great. This makes sense though.
