They don't sugar-coat it.

Hard to argue with their take, though.

A 230 lb. LB that runs a 4.77 won't ordinarily get a whole lot of hype.

He was a very good LB in his USF career, but a future all-pro he probably is not.

Far to many cases of the slow, undersized player having great success in the NFL.  Heart and brains can go along way.

I thought I have seen several other sources that said he ran in the 4.6s.  He's not that slow.  And at 232 lbs, he's not "that" small either.  The falcons sre high on him, that's all that matters.  He will be a solid NFL linbacker.

Hmm.  Zach Thomas is smaller,  than SN,and he has had 100 tackles 10 years in a row.  Derrick Brooks is exactly the same size.  I think I will take the word of Wally Burnham and the falcons staff over a bunch of internet posters about SN.

I would like to see the sources for the 4.6 times if you can remember where you saw them, the best i have seen was mid 4.7's or so.  Both Brooks and Thomas are in the 4.6 range.  I think snake can be a good NFL LB because he has great instincts and you cant teach that.  The only thing that really bothers me about him is he does have trouble getting off blocks at times and its only going to get harder in the NFL where offensive linmen are worlds better than college linemen.
