Pros: He is a Productive Tackler. (Over 400 Tackles in 4 years at Va Tech) Smart Football Player. Bud Foster, defensive coordinator at Va Tech said he was the smartest he has coached. Recognition Skills are great. He is always around the football.
Cons: Track Speed vs. Football Speed- 40 time will be in the upper 4's maybe 5. This will hurt him at draft time as far as where he goes but somebody will get a gift if he can stay healthy.
Overall: I think he would be a great mid to late round (3rd to 5th) pick for a 3-4 scheme team looking to coach up a ILB. Based on football ability I think he could be worthy of a higher pick in the Draft but measurables are going to hurt him. Will probably have a long NFL career counting on staying healthy.
