His skills to get to the ball are great. The problem he will have is staying healthy.
If he were to be a position player on defense, he will e getting battered on every play by 220-350 lb players. I'm not sure a body his size could continually take the abuse in the NFL. There is NO hiding in the league. If you are out there, they will find you and try to exploit your weakness, which in his case would be his overall size.
I hope him great success. The selfish side of me will always hold some anger towards a person who had total disregard for LSU and the people like Miles who extended themselves to make him a better person, only to have him take part in the events that happened.

I'll be curious to see his 40 time at the combine. Supposedly Tenn passed on him because his 40 time at one of their camps wasn't mpressive. If he runs a slow 40, then it would be easy for the scouts to decide that he is too slow to play CB and too small to play safety or linebacker.
On the other hand, when you watch him play, or watch video of him doing agility drills in practice, he looks like the quickest, smoothest player on the field. If he falls to a late round, I think that someone could get a steal. Even if he isn't an every down player, he could be a playmaker on special teams and in nickle and dime packages.
