Just watched a fumble recovery and return for 33 yards on youtube, He looked good but he needs to cut out the showboating and holding that ball away from his body. Remember Anthony Smith showboating after an INT? He got chewed out,then he talk crap vs the Pats and got blown away and was not brought back. Work hard man Get a roster spot on special teams and you can compete for ILB spot.
