It depends on which KV shows up. The rookie sensation? Or the bad angles and tackling.......reminiscent of Jenkins.

Don't forget that most of the Vaccaro hype in 2013 was because his name wasn't Roman Harper or Malcolm Jenkins.

He graded badly in numerous games and while his 2014 plummet was a bit surprising, it wasn't a shock.

Several people warned us he wasn't that good, but I just chalked it up to UT haters.

It takes even seasoned pro's a year to acclimate to a new team and a new scheme.
