Physically, he's a beast. I personally like that he's 27 yrs old. He more mature, understands his role, has military experience, etc.
I'd love to see him get a legitimate shot at ILB this preseason, or even at weakside. Lamar Marshall isn't quite getting it done... Sure he's got the tackles, but that is because everyone runs right to his part of the field.
As far as football smarts go - all I can say is he ran a pretty tough defense from a pretty tough position in a pretty tough conference. He deserves a shot. Not to mention he's one of the highest drafted linebackers we have, even as a fifth (?) round choice.
