I agree. He has the potential to be the best MLB in the league . A cornerstone of this D for the Future.
But am I the only one that saw Indy pick in him pretty consistently. Shades of week 2 vs LA , where they picked on him for the whole first half. But at 20 years of age and being a rookie at MLB , these things happen....
With that said , His teammates and coaches have also consistently said , since Training camp, that he rarely makes same mistake twice , always learning n getting better.. I expect him to be an All pro by 2020. Pro Bowler by next year.
If we can get Oliver or Bosa or an elite DL , this D is set . Stud MLB, check. Legit shutdown, already top 10 CB , check. Legit top 10 pass rusher, check. Legit top 3 safety Duo, check. Legit stud nickel cb, check.
Then there's Milano ( flashes elite potential) , Murphy , Star who are all playing above average. And Lorax who like Hughes is playing outta his mind .( Didn't mention him because I'm not sure if he'll be here next year). Lawson , who is quietly playing much better. Both Phillips playing good, with ton of potential. Get Oliver on that line , a legit #2 cb and some depth pieces and u got a top 5 defense for years.
I Love what this staff has built on THAT SIDE. They built it with LONG TERM success in mind.
