I remember his epic fall from future top 10 pick early on at ASU to mid-bottom of the draft guy a couple of years back. I was surprised to see he's the NFL leader in tackles so far in the season...had completely forgotten about him. I'm guessing he's made it?

Not surprising, his combine was an abortion.

He's legit crazy, but a damn good linebacker.

He's very, very good. He's scaled back the crazy. In Hard Knocks, he makes references to how nuts he used to be.

Bunch of my ASU friends have interesting stories about him...but they all say he is a nice dude.

But he is and has always been a hell of a football...just crazy like most have already said.

I also remember him being the best player on the field during the Army AA game his senior year of HS.

Usually the leader in tackles is on a shite defense that's on the field a lot. This isn't the case.

Was shocked when he chose ASU over USC.

I remember watching him and thinking that I was glad its not me on that slant.

Makes up for lack of speed by being a bad arse tackler and all around good linebacker. Guy is always around the ball.

He's around the ball every game I watch of theirs. Classic case of everyone really overthinking the pick IMO

I think Marvin Lewis sat him down and had a man-to-young man talk with him.
