No. People throw that word around really flippantly here. Bust indicates that he sucks. He doesn't suck. At worst he's a solid starter. At best he's the heir apparent to TD.

Only problem is he isn't getting the reps you would want from a first round pick and that's less on him and more on the coaching staff/scheme. But then again when you have one of the best OLB's in the game ahead of you on the depth chart, it's hard to get your playing time on the field. 

So I would say not a bust, but his talent was not really necessary at the time he was drafted and the coaching staff isn't doing the best job of allocating their resources.

No but lack of opportunity has hurt him. I guess it’s a good problem to have though that TD has played so well this late into his career after the injuries too, and he’s still going... Nobody could’ve expected that.

Using him as a nickle back against speedy WRs in the slot constantly is a bust. We will see how he does when TD is on the bench serving his suspension. I'm rooting for the dude but I just haven't seen enough either way. I wish there was more need for a full time 4-3 package but opposing teams seem less than willing to play to our strengths. Why not play against nickle and dime defense when our 3rd and 4th CB can't beat out a LBer?

The only guys on the list better than Shaq are the top 4, possibly top 5. 

This list is a joke.

Did you just like pull this list out of your ass? Where did you find this? I’m surprised you can name more than 7 NFL players

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
