On paper Gooden looked the part running a sub 4.5, 6.71 3 cone, and a 38 inch vertical. He even benched 27 times. Problem was he wasn't a very instinctual LB.
Exactly....I don’t care how fast you are if you can’t figure out where to run....fantastic if you have blazing speed, but run in the wrong direction then that is no help.
Rather have a guy who can anticipate and make the right first steps in a hurry but not be blazing fast than a guy who is fast but slow to react. Especially at LB where instincts are everything.
