Finally another Big MLB and stop with these Midgets in the Middle..

So he's a MLB. I was wondering whether he was an ILB or OLB. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm not able to watch the draft. I just got/saw a notice on my phone and saying Panthers draft  LB from Penn State via trade.

At least he is Athletic.  Unlike that idiot DB Hurndog took from Tennessee.

I'm not convinced.  I'm wondering if they want him to play the Thomas Davis role here.

He can play all positions but Smith himself said he expects to play OLB.

He reminds me a lot of Manny Lawson. Their versatility, speed, athleticism, aggressiveness, etc.

Putting their tape beside each other and the players almost looks identical. For Smith it’s just going to be about development and consistency.

Davis:  6'1.  4.6 40.  115 Broad Jump.  36.5" vertical.  230 LBS.

Smith:  6'3.5".  4.52 40.  128 Broad Jump.  37.5" vertical.  250 LBS.

Obviously doesn't have the football mind, but man...that's a freaky dude.

His issue is processing.  However, a 5 star recruit who probably was always able to get by on his athleticism (like Cam) so his processing is not as developed as someone who needs it to compete.

Not Luke Kuechly, then...but who is?

(besides Luke Kuechly)

I'll take athletic freaks all day. That's the poo that you can't teach. He can potentially learn the game, but you can't classroom your way to those measurables.

Never heard of the guy but...

Super athletic hard hitter from Penn St? 

Sure...I'm in.
