I have been watching GT for 45 yrs, simply 41 has the potential to be the best for his size ever at LB that I've seen.After watching 3 games,that guy hardly ever misses a tackle or is out of position.He is but a Jr and is really just learning the MikeLB poition.If he wasn't so capable on blitzes and utilized thus,he would also lead in ints possibly.
The concerns about weight and taking on OLs and big backs- er,forget it.I saw him in the Spring up close and personal and he looks like a torpedo going for a slow tub on most every play.
Enjoy him while you can- think Daryl smith,Keith Brooking,Lucious Sanford,Larry morris,maxie Baughn,-he can be there
 
He's just as impressive on the radio. "Phillip Wheeler in on the tackle." I have to agree that he could be one of the best in the league next year - possibly this year too.

Gotta love the Butkus list compilers...he did not make the pre-season list. It must have 50 LB's on it!! KMike is on it.
 
Just wait until AT Barnes steps up next year. Our D is gonna be awesome in 2007. We are still relatively young defensively.
