Stock is falling because of size and poor performance in the 40 yard dash at the combine. Originally thought to fall somewhere in the 3rd round, has slipped to the 4th or 5th. Has recorded previous 40 times in the 4.8 range. Fundamentally sound, good instincts and strength, can deliver big hits and tackles well. Decent in coverage, but will lose out to a receiver with speed. Plays through pain, and was the leader on the Wake Forest defense. Honorable mention All-American, 1st Team All-ACC, and Chuck Bednarik Award nominee.
