Hell yeah lets all be gay together

As long as he keeps his violent assholish tendencies aimed at the other team we'll be alright.
[Reply]

I guess we can put him on the line and blitz him like we did with Ragland...

I have run out of other ideas.

Freak of nature

From NFL.com:

Strengths

Frame and lower body thickness to hold up inside
Reads quarterback's eyes and jumps the passing lane
Weaves and closes with some juice as blitzer
Flexed wide and helped smother receiver screens in 2018
Plays with thud behind his pads
Good strength to play through soft edges
Short-area burst to close and pursue in space
Finishes what he starts as a tackler
Bodies, wraps and drags down runners with good efficiency

Weaknesses

Held out of eight games in 2019 for his role in NCAA violations pertaining to an academic tutor
Plays with extra steps and wasted motion
Needs to play with better control and body composure between tackles
Delay to trust and trigger prevents him from making more plays
Tall tackler who needs to drop his aim
Takes some poorly misjudged angles to the football
Allows climbing blocks to get into him first
Instincts to scrape with timing and leverage are below average
