I can see him lining up outside and dropping into coverage or blitzing. Even use him as a Rushing DE. He has a motor and pursues even if he missed a tackle or coverage. Good back up.

"...he also had 16 missed tackles."

This is how remote controls get broken.

They are getting a LB coming off a torn Achilles.

Re: Film Study: Saints Have Signed LB Manti Te’o, What Are They Getting?

I can’t provide a grade on this signing without knowing the amount Manti was signed to on his new contract, nor without knowing the current state of his injury. His career has been plagued by ankle and foot injuries and having a damaged Achilles doesn’t bode well for a player with that record.

He is not an impressive linebacker, but he also showed flashes of promise while with the Chargers. Still, if he is returning healthy he could be a player that makes a positive impact in 2017. Considering the state of the team’s LB group last season that certainly isn’t out of the question.


Yep that sums him up perfectly

Never like that, usually another tear is right around the corner. Bad injury
