Quote:Telvin just needs to gain weight. He's a heck of a player but how well can a 215 pound OLB hold up against the run?


Discredit this if he already has gained good weight, didn'twatch him in the combine

 

I got 6-2 7/8 and 218 Lbs. 

 

I was just watching some of the draft breakdown video (FSU v. Boston College) and Telvin Smith is awful as a linebacker. It appears that FSU is really back-heavy at safety and either the defensive line chases and tackles from behind, or the bigger safeties come forward with a head of steam to make the tackles.

 

He's like a nickel linebacker that gets left on the field by mistake and has to make the best of things. Man, they really tackle by committee. FSU safety #13 looks like Telvin Smith's big brother.

 

I wonder if Mayock only watched the BCS game?
