Look at Garrett's scores. He about 4.8 in 40, as was Teo at the combines. I see Garrett's press and his stars, just like everyone else. Those ratings must be despite not having exceptional speed. As I recall, his overall SPARQ #'s are not in the top half at Opening, although that is top level competition.

Sorry, guys. You can use all the catch phrases you want, but you can't "hit like a freight train", if you don't get there in time to make the tackle. And no one says the 40 is an end all, be all,as fantasized by one poster. Here's another old sports saying: "There's no substitute for speed". Garrett may be a very good LB, but his meaurables aren't supportive of his current rating. If he Notre Dame as his first choice, many here wouldn't give him a second glance.

But I did say his meaurables suggest he's overrated. And I said his speed is comparable to Mati Teo's.

So kevin minter was overrated? Terrell Suggs?

So a 17 yr old ran faster than a college senior? But he's comparable?

Now, are you going to enighten the discussion by referring to freight trains or "closing speed"?

You're right Chavis is wrong. Chief loves the kid and thinks he can make an immediate impact. But you're right, he's overrated and has no closing speed. But yet he was one of the best LB at the opening. But he's overrated amirite?
