I think this guy is going to prove to be the best young linebacker in the league. That said, because of the plethora of good LBs on the Panthers it looks as though he'll be starting at the WLB position his rookie year. If he were starting in the middle I'd expect him to be a big time IDP stud right off the bat, If we are to treat as factual my opinion that he is a big time stud who is already more than ready to get it done on the NFL level, then how much short term value will he have/lose having to play on the weak side this year?
