Good point Schneed. Practically all the scouts have said this kid is ready for the NFL. If not emotionally at least physically. The biggest knocks on him have been short arms and sometimes can be leadfooted, but the guy does ball when he's on the field. He may be better suited for guard I don't know. March 11th or 12th I believe is pro day in Alabama and I think his showing there will have a big impact on how teams look at him. Should be interesting to see how he shows up. I think I'll reserve my opinion until after we see how he responds on Pro Day.
