Not trying to start a homer thread here, but this is a guy who really wasn't on many NFL radars but he led the ACC in tackles this year and then absolutely blew up his Pro Day.

His numbers and where they would've ranked amount LB prospects at the Combine:

4.44 40 (2)

40" vertical (1)

11' broad jump (1)

6.77 3 cone (1)

4.18 20 yard shuttle (8)

22 reps (tied for 7th)

If this guy goes undrafted we should be all over him.

Overachiever with a nose for the ball...weakness is in pass coverage...

Seems like a special teams type. I am okay giving him a shot as an undrafted/camp guy. No real downside.

This. He'll ultimately get his shot in the NFL as a special teamer. For a late round pick or UDFA, a core special teamer is a good grab. If he turns into more than that, great. If not, well he was a late round pick or UDFA.

I definitely wouldn’t call him an underachiever. His athletic measures and academics have Patriots written all over him.

John Madden used to say you can teach an athlete to be a football player but not a football player to be an athlete.

Discounting guys like this is why one team has been to 8 Superbowls and won 6 since 2001 and everyone else keeps chasing their tails.

      Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

      If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"

      I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

      Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
