I can’t pinpoint what deficiencies he has in his game but his recovery speed just isn’t there. If you get a step on him you seem to own him.

Now that’s fine if he’s lighting up PAC 12, but this is a new beast. He did not display recovery speed, a major problem. He gets boxed out and beaten to a spot. He’s grabby.
This doesn’t kill McDuffie in the crib, but those are going to be lingering issues that simply being a rookie will only partially repair.
I’m a big fan of drafting him and I like his skillset. But today’s practice was problematic to me.
