It takes talented people to be special teamers. Just because people act like it is all about some stupid boilerplate intangibles doesn't make it so. One of the issues given our depth problems this year is we had to move Adams, Beckwith, Jones, and the Duke to cover kicks. It is more than getting pumped up and running down
No kid comes to LSU that doesn't have great talent. It might not be good enough to be a starter on O or D but if they have the right mindset they can use their talents on special teams.

It isn't just about mindset. I think Will Clapp has the mindset of an absolute warrior. He can't play special teams for us. The guys you listed in your earlier post as being good on special teams were talented guys. It wasn't their mindset. You need to be fast and able to tackle. Those are physical attributes. You need to be disciplined and not try to do too much. That's a mental attribute. 
The point of all of this is linebackers will generally have the skills you want to cover kicks. That's why you see them on specialty units.
