Tommy: No, you aren’t wrong at all to think that. He very well may be. I think it may take some time to get there, and will especially take some time on task at linebacker or as a pass rusher if Dallas chooses to move him around, but he has a lot of very promising traits and the exact kind of mentality you want from a defensive player.<\/p>\n
