🚨THE 2012 #NFL DRAFT CLASS WAS THE GREATEST LINEBACKER CLASS EVER: Luke Kuechly: Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner: Future HOFer Lavonte David: Future HOFer Melvin Ingram: 3x Pro Bowler Dont'a Hightower: 3x SB Champ Demario Davis: 5x All-Pro Zach Brown: All-Pro THE GREATEST EVER 🤯

I’d agree … When I was drafted , they told me I’d be playing safety at first, but when I arrived I was thrown into the LB room as a ILB (a position I had never played in my career before) so it felt like I had to relearn the game of football and made me kinda doubt my own ability as a player at times. Coming from USC and having a revolving door of systems & HC’s didn’t help me develop as either a safety or a LB. I played 3-4 different positions at USC (and just happed to be good at em) but never really mastered one. By the time the league came, it felt like Washington was just spitballing what they’d want from me on a week to week basis. One week I’m a true ILB trying to get off double teams at 220 pounds and the next I’m playing basically playing safety and guarding WR’s, TE’s, and slots depending on the formation. I believe if it’s why I ended up dealing with so many injuries in my short NFL career. On top of the fact I ALMOST WENT BLIND from a concussion trying to play aggressive while being undersized. I never had issues with Jay in Washington. I liked him as a HC and trusted em enough to actually cry in his office in private like a baby, when I told em “Something doesn’t feel right with my eye !! I don’t feel the same , something’s off!!” After my concussion before the 2017 season. I have a ton of regrets when it comes to my football career. My biggest is not staying at USC for my senior year, learning how to really play ILB, and avoiding getting drafted by Washington all together. But I’m grateful for the opportunity and hope none of these kids in the future go through the same injuries I set through. And I am in no way offended by Jay’s words. He and I have always kept it 100% whether he liked or not and vice versa . It’s a mutual respect on a situation that didn’t work out in the end 🙏🏽 💯 #HTTR #FightOn

OMG KENTUCKY THIS IS MARCH 🤯🤯🤯

For the first time since 2016, Hawai'i is back in the NCAA tournament 😤 The Rainbow Warriors defeat the Anteaters of UC Irvine in the Big West championship 👏

Yall see Ashton Jeanty’s last IG post 👀 #Raiders

I fully expect Nakobe Dean to take over the ‘green dog’ responsibility on defense. He was the heart and soul of championship Georgia teams and he is a natural talent at the ILB position. He’s gonna get the defense right in the middle.
