Another thing people don't realize is that he was actually a five star recruit in 2006 coming out of high school. So just in case anyone cares that what I mean when I say he has all the physical tools to be successful. The fact that he played high school football in Virginia was probably among the main reasons he was on our radar after the draft, since I imagine the scouts that worked on the 2010 draft had seen him back in 2006.
