    University of Arizona LB who is jumping up a lot of draft boards. Doesn't look too bad, has good awareness and hustle. His pursuit angles are AMAZING and he's always there to make the tackle. Picture a LB version of Troy Polamalu. He isn't really asked to rush the passer a whole lot but the potential is there.

    He seems to have great instincts, and his awareness is awesome

    I hope he's good, simply so the fans can yell VUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNAAAAAAAA! every time he makes a tackle.

    I liked what I saw. I think it looks like serious potential. Would not be mad if we took him in the right spot.

    Isn't Obiozor, an undrafted guy, signed?

    Actually, wasn't Obiozor a really raw guy that the Packers were realy into? I'll be keeping an eye on Pat Lee, him and Bishop in this preseason...

    I've watched him play a few times, very good nack for the ball. I wouldn't mind picking him up in the 3rd rd. But would he be too small for an OLB? we've already got a lot of depth at MLB.

    I agree , he takes better pursuit angles than Hawk and is always aware of where the ball carrier is. He is slated to go in the 5th round butteams like the falcons or seahwaks are willing to take him earlier in the 3rd or 4th.

    He looks like a real good talent. Has a nose for the football. I don't see AJ in him either, I agree with more of a Barnett type, which is good.

    This guy looks like a real find to me. Some things I instantly noticed watching that video.

    1. This guy FLIES around the football field. His burst is incredible, you just can't teach that.
    2. His awareness is top notch, he always knows where the ball/ball carrier is and he has a great feel for where his help is.
    3. His coverage skills look better than any current linebacker we have on our roster. He has the ability to fly down the seam with a TE or to flash in front of a curl route, I love it.
    4. Finally and most importantly, he does all of these things with GAP DISCIPLINE, something we have lacked at times (although last year we got much better because of Dom Capers).

    I'd take him in the 4th for sure.

    Spot on Mr. Billings, this guy looks like a bonafide baller. If he's projected to go in the 4th round, I would be alright hearing his name in the 3rd round, from what I've seen in video. Prior to tonight I've never heard of him, but he looks and plays the part on TV, IMO.

    Proof that this draft is a very deep one and we will hopefully be able to sniff out talent into the later rounds.
