He will never be fast but the AJ we saw at the end of the season was much improved. He was able to get sideline to sideline far, far better than earlier in the season and, on occasion, actually cover a receiver. His zone pass defense skills improved greatly. If he builds on the late season surge then he will be a very good LB for us at Mike and as a leader of the defense.
Yep, we'll be better on defense with him than without him, so I am good with his staying.
That said, I don't see him improving his NFL stock much, so maybe he is taking a huge risk. He could be drafted this year, make somebody's team, and earn a year's rookie pay, which still isn't a bad thing right now.
Not sure I understand this one.
