He was my favorite defensive player on the Pats. His versatility was sorely missed last season. I remember his days at BYU. If he left his Jr Year, he could've been a 1st Rd Pick. He stayed, got picked by Detroit at like #41 or something in the 2nd Rd and was hardly used. They under-utilized his skill set so badly. Only took him half a season to get up to speed here. Its Bill's Defense so he saw the upside but gotta give Flo credit too. When Bill switched our D to more of a Base Nickle, starting Hightower and Van Noy as the 2LBs. He flourished and Flo threw everything at him. Coverage, setting the edge and getting to the QB. Absolutely stoked to see him alongside Judon and Hightower. This LB corp has the talent to be amongst Coaches elite groups.
