Well i sat next to him on a flight from st louis, and I have to agree he isnt the biggest guy. I was kinda hoping that he was a decent pass defender.

Re: New LB in town

40-Time: 4.55
Strengths:
Very smooth and a fantastic athlete....Extremely strong....Very good speed...Quick with a burst...Does a nice job in pursuit...Has sideline-to-sideline range...A reliable tackler...Can deliver the big hit...Is versatile...Offers great special teams potential.

Weaknesses:
Undersized...Not very impressive in coverage...Has trouble shedding blocks...Poor hands and ball skills...Questionable instincts and awareness...Has some durability issues..A bit of a workout warrior...Limited starting experience..An underachiever?

Notes:
Has experience at both outside and inside linebacker...Recorded an Indiana public school record 18 sacks as a sophomore in high school...Got spot starts early in his career but he didn't emerge as a full-time starter until his senior year...Best fit will be on the weakside with a team willing to sacrifice size for speed and athleticism.
