For his projected draft position, he's been getting a lot of attention. He even was during the college season. Part of the reason he got invited to the combine was due to people asking why he wasn't initially. He's been well covered.

What a feel-good story. Was on ESPN this morning. Dude is missing a hand. Ran the 40 at the combine in 4.38 seconds! I think he led the nation in linebacker sacks. Total McDermott type of work ethic guy. What do ya think? i've been listening to stuff about this guy. he led in sacks?

He's just a damn good player. Yeah, it's a feel good story but there is more to it than that. 1

Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that he wanted to cut his own hand off at the age of 4 and that he also has a twin brother. Nah. Never seen anything on him.
Logic Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 To anyone asking "is he a good football player?" or "is this anything more than a feel-good story?"... The answers are "yes" and "yes". He is fast. Like really, really fast. A 4.38 forty is bananas for a linebacker. He also had quality production at USF, and was unanimously cited as an excellent locker room guy, a guy who gets his teammates fired up and inspired to work hard. I'm not gonna go overboard and say they should draft him in the first few rounds, but if he's there in round 5, I'd take him 100%. 1
chris heff Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I like this kid would love to see him in a Bills uniform. Only downside is having the announcers talk about his missing hand every game. Doesn’t he have a brother or maybe even a twin that plays? 4 minutes ago, chris heff said: I like this kid would love to see him in a Bills uniform.

Used the Google, twin brother left UCF a year early, plays DB for Seahawks. Edited April 15, 2018 by chris heff

You like him, but you think he's going to be there in the 5th? Not a chance. He's being projected as a day 2 pick.

JTown Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Great player who has received a lot of attention. If you haven't already heard of him you have not followed the off season. I would definitely like to see him in a Bills uniform. Maybe a late fourth or early fifth round if he is still available. He is a better player than his brother but I have a feeling that he will be gone by the fourth round. 1

He's being projected as a day 2 pick. Meh. NFL evaluators are still cavemen in a lot of ways. I'll believe them drafting a one-handed player on the second day when I see it. Until then, I'll stick with my 5th round projection.
I'm Spartacus Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 The dude's got a "high motor" - much like an "extra digit"

Have watched the kid play here at UCF for the past two years, first he was a safety then was moved to a linebacker. Kid is just a dam good football player who is never out of position and makes the plays that he is supposed to! He is fast and relentless in pursuit and once gets a hold of someone takes them to the ground! Would love to see him in a Bills uniform and wouldn't be early at all to get him in the third! Watch the film and tape on the kid and you will agree!! 2
Buffalo Dude Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 3rd Round if we want him. Dude is a stud. Got sacks and INTS against the best competition. UCF is for real!
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Good college player, great attitude. He does have a game limitation. 5 round or lower would be good value.
