Because the kid has shown great instincts, is VERY fast, and a sure tackler. He has a presence out there, and made plenty of big plays to warrant a starting position next year. He will bulk up as most 22 year old kids do after their first season. He'll play at 230 next year, good enough to make it through a 16 game schedule. I believe he will be our best backer next year.
Any doubters?
