Promising start, hopefully keeps it up
Good linebacker coverage?
Is that legal?
A good coverage linebacker is so rare. Levy was the last good one we had?
As an OK State fan, we tried to tell people
I remember one of Brad’s selling points was being able to find late round studs… so far w/ Amon Ra. And Rodrigo I’d say that’s a pretty accurate assessment
If he keeps playing like he did I won’t even criticize his salsa celebration.
“Undersized” might be the most overrated weakness for Linebackers of all-time.
Lavonte David, Bobby Wagner, Derrick Brooks all had that as part of their scouting report too, but none of that matters if the guy is a baller.
