I think Eric sticks b4 chase does. His only knock is his height..and he doesn't have particularly long arms to set the edge. Yet he is still a very very very good passrusher and if im ont mistaken hes being looked@ as a SOLB. He has comparable measurables to Victor Butler but his timed speed/agility/movement skills are all better.
Id like to see him stick as a WILB if he can learn to digest the playbook. Learning curve his high but were in a 3-4 now so we will probably keep a lot of LB's.
I hope he makes it......according to collegefootballmetrics he was a top 5 olb that came out that no one was giving attention. Even mentioned him in the "sleepers thread" hours b4 the draft...as well as Rufus Johnson and imagine we got BOTH of them.
Should be interesting. IF he is albe to make a brooks reed like transition to the inside he has the fire that range and hitting ability to be absolutely forceful in close quaters.
