don't see him hitting outside the tackle runs like a Deon Jones does
Deon Jones speed at the LB position is VERY rare. He's got DB speed so that's almost an unfair comparison for the other NFL LBs
I understand where your thinking is coming from about Vander Esch. He's a big guy from a mid-major school who most of us were unfamiliar with and most of us assumed he would be like a 1st and 2nd down run stopper based on the frame. I assumed he would be on the sideline for 3rd + situations. After watching him this year and researching him, I see why the Cowboys surprised a lot of casual draft fans selecting him in the first. He's adapting to the speed and complexity of the NFL quickly because he has great instincts and athleticism. His ability to handle Kamara in the open field was more than impressive.

I listen to DFW sports talk all day long. We talked about LVE a few months before the draft and it was pretty much either him or Ridley for the last month until the draft.
I never wanted LVE. I thought he was overrated by Dallas’ front office and wanted Derwin James instead.
I couldn’t have been more wrong. He is incredible and getting better every week. He’s already a top 5 LB according to PFF and he may the best open field tackler i’ve seen in my life.
A lot of the credit for this is coming from his background pre-Boise State. He played 8-man football and so there is a lot more ground to cover as a defender.
Craziest stat about him, he has only played like 17 games of 11-man football in his career lmaooo.
