Watched him in on TV where he was just man handled by a huge OT in one game. Not his fault, he was just used too early. Then he got lost in the incoming talent of a new head coach. Hopefully he is now ready to compete on an equal level and can show his talents.
And the fact that he started at defensive end as a true freshman. He's presumably better suited to linebacker.
