Didn’t even make GB’s 53. Had a workout with Pittsburgh this season and they opted to sign one of our ex guys instead.

that whole weird elevator interaction dating back to his draft year combined with him not being able to stick on any team tells us despite the athleticism there’s probably a bit of personality issues with him as well

I think he is just one of those guys that is an athlete and not really a football player. Well the NFL grind does a REALLY good job of weeding those guys out.

See: Chinn, Jeremy

never understood why they never played Chinn in Moerhig's current role and spot

in box SS with run support and covering RB/TE, instead we had Chinn like he was Earl Thomas 30 yards back

Chinn is just kind of a player that is only useful in very certain systems and in very certain ways. Outside that, he really struggles in coverage and he is really too small to be a true, every down LB. 

It sucks because I think we all loved him and that rookie season was unbelievable.

I was thinking that as I typed this post up…  a lot of times, when guys still seem to have enough of whatever they need to carve out a career in some capacity but don’t stick and there’s no obvious public explanation, more often than not, there is a personality/locker room issue.  Could be as simple as they aren’t a “team guy” or maybe they’re just a flat out cancer.

Also, fwiw, listening to Luke on the radio broadcast, and literally the first play of Simmons’ Panthers career, Luke explained he was the furthest outside guy on the kickoff coverage and his job is just to contain so nothing gets outside, Simmons cut inside of a block and gave up contain leading to a huge return and additional 15 yards for a late hit by Incoom.

So fug this thread.
