Saw him in walking boot on sidelines in second half
 
Don’t know. But the way he’s been misused this year my advice would be stay in the boot.
 
The argument is that he lacks size for LB and speed for safety. Nickel is a hybrid role in our scheme. He’s another player that doesn’t fit exactly what the coaches are targeting in the finished product version of the defense. I believe he was a safety on the recruiting sites before we converted him to LB.

He was a hi school safety and he is maybe the best fundamental tackler on team.He just doesn't seem to instinctively get in right spots (esp on passes) except on stunts/rushes.

How would you use him? He’s too small to play rush end and can’t cover well enough to play nickel or even LB.

Well, I’m not a GT coach so I have no clue how’d I use him. But last year he was clearly our best tackler and was all over the field. To not have him on the field while some of these other guys are out there is ridiculous. He’s a baller and we are lacking in those. I guess #2 has the measurables yet you‘d never even know he played in the game unless your watching highlights of the other team prancing into the end zone.
