Thanks! And agreed on the strength. IMHO, he needs a bit more muscular development both lower body and upper body, to set the edge and to finish those high flying edge tackles where he sometimes slides off stout QB's. But he's young, and that will likely come with age and NFL strength training. I definitely see his body type like JT's ... incredible change of direction for a 6'5 kid, and a pretty quick first step.\Jaso
great to have your contributions @Digital its been awhile. The kid reminds me build wise like JT! In complete honesty I’m not so sure about the run stopping abilities. He seems a little too light in that department to hold up on the edges etc. Seems more like and lock out, pivot, and engage where the run is going using is athletic ability more than physical strength and stoutness.

Let's connect him with Will Fuller and his medicine cabinet.Just wait until he's had a year or two in a pro weightroom and off season program. He'll be yoked
