But I dont know how much that is technique and footwork and how much of that is just his achilles heel as an otherwise great athlete. Some things like use of hands and not getting fooled by pass rushers moves are obviously technique while pure physical measureables may be inherent athleticism but I am not sure where this combination of footwork, lateral speed, and getting beat around the edge falls.

And exactly where and from whom did you hear that assessment? I'd be very interested to hear or read that myself. I'd make sure to share it with everyone else, as well!

Thanks in advance!
