the most athletic linebackers he'd coached at BYU. He mentioned he had a great combination of strength, speed, quickness, and balance. But then it looks like the mental aspect of the game and work off the field didn't catch up to his natural ability. Tidwell certainly seems to think he can be great if he can get those two things down. It seems doubtful that all of a sudden a guy that has had as many reps as him would take a huge step forward, but the defense certainly needs him to.
