It seems as he's gotten diluted at the next level.  The NFL is played so fast that his speed isn't as much of a factor as it was in college, where he could rely on that to compensate for his weakness' (At N.C. he was known to bite on play fakes while in the box because of his over-aggression and he would also get caught out of position at times in the secondary)  As a second round pick you should be further along by now. He's a true example of how straight athleticism does not work in the NFL, you have to have what they call NFL level smarts to go with it.  If I'm Gute I'm giving him one year to prove himself or I'm moving on</blockquote>
