Looks great on the film. I just wonder what caused him to slip through the draft.

I don't think there is any might to it This guy will ballout of control as soon as he learns and gets acquainted with our city and team! He played in a 3-4 system that he believes is alot like Ryan's he has also played both OLB and DE so he is versatile and he is a leader and Captain material he is going to be every bit as good as he can be because like Kruger he is an overachiever and has a motor that just won't stop! So as soon as Rex figures out Chase's strengths and weaknesses, which he probably has already done through film study and talking to Chase! Another thing to add about Chase Thomas and Kelvin Reddick is they will have a serious chip on their shoulder! Now I never really understood why you'd need extra motivation or more reasons to work hard or something to fuel your determination and desire, but I also I don't think I've ever seen two guys slide as far as they slid when they were scouted and graded as at the very least 5th rd grades! Most had Chase a 2nd or 3rd and Kelvin 3rd-5th! I believe the record number of players that declared early for the draft pushed the number of draftable prospects to a record high I mean LSU alone had 9 guys drafted and I believe 7 or 8 of them were underclassmen! So that gives you I guess a rational explanation for what happened but I bet you not 1 scout, GM, or coach would have predicted it but given the run on lineman early made all the skilled positions "qb,wr,rb,cb,te,safety,pass rusher" the perceived value and became almost every team's priority in the later rounds "I Guess" but I really have no idea but that's the only thing I can possibly come up with! Or the teams drafting in rounds 5-7 just plain forgot or they had already drafted the same position earlier, but I don't have a rational explanation that would have kept me from snagging either one of them in rd 6 much less 7! They should feel **** on!

[QUOTE=tiggerpolice;499969]he might be our Paul Kruger

We could have drafted his brother as a Defensive End in the sixth!!!

Best thing about the video....HE WRAPS UP WHEN HE TACKLES!!!

FinSaint

Based on the video he takes good angles to the ball carrier, plays with a good pad level in relation to the tackles and has the ability for quick lateral changes of direction (i.e. fluid hips).

Still, it's a highlight video, so you'd expect it to show you the absolute best of the guy, so I'm curious like others as to why he went undrafted if he's this solid in general.

I think he makes the team as backup and solid ST Player
