I know he can make the highlight reels but I have seen games were he disappears all together. I worry about his football IQ. He appears to be a bit slow in read react ability IMO. One thing to be overally aggressive and over run play. It is another to just show up late on a regular clip. Maybe more playing time and coaching can change it. If it does he will be a beast. But in the first round, this high I would pause. At this point in the draft IMO that is a huge flaw in his game. The draft interview would make or break this kid for me.

There is always a concern I have DL and OL players that play against mostly spread offenses in college. They all need more coaching to understand the differences in the pro game. So maybe I am more skeptical and critical with these players
