What are you basing your speed comment on? His profile says 4.6 speed, which, if accurate, I would wager would have made him the fastest LB among the starters on this year's team.
If you're basing the comment on the videos, I don't know what you're looking at.
I would agree agree and piggybacking on that..............
1st off 4.6 speed at Lber is fantastic (yes I know it may not be legit) becasue I assure you there are sfty's in the NFL running slower than that and Lbers running in the 4.8's or worse.
2nd there are so many anomalies to this speed thing that it is really hard to decipher what to really think. Anyone watch Shonn Greene roll over a sfty today and then run away from at least 2 other DB's? He ran a high 4.6 something at the combine and I think he did get that into the high 4.5's at his Pro day. Point is per "time" he isn't supposed to be that fast yet those DB's would beg to differ.
I've always read Ray Lewis isn't "fast" yet he seemingly makes every play on the football field. Apparently Jerry Rice ran a best of 4.6 and I've heard it was even lower yet I don't ever remember him getting walked down in his prime.
Honestly either you can make plays in space or you can't. It's really that simple.
