Big Mistake
that is an even bigger mistake than Allen transferring and Urrutia leaving.
At least Urrutia has size and some raw talent if not the work ethic & heart to go with it at least a team is probably willing to take a chance on Mario for the size he brings to the position alone.
Myles is a talented football player at the college level.
I didnt think he was big enough for a college LB, I dont think he is big enough for the NFL.
If Robert "The Hammer" McCune (6 foot 245lbs) can barely stick (3 teams in two years) in the NFL (only because he's a special teams beast) how can Myles at 6 foot 220lbs?
6 foot 220 lbs is a DB or a safety in the NFL.
Here's a list of some LB's I recognized by name (starters) and their height and weight.
Patrick WIllis is 6-1 and 242 lbs.(NFL defensive rookie of the year)
Lance Briggs 6'1" 240 lbs
Keith Bulluck 6'3" 235
London Fletcher 5'10" 245
Scott Fujita 6'5" 250
A.J. Hawk 6'1" 240
Napoleon Harris 6'3" 253
Willie McGinest 6'5" 270
Shawne Merriman 6'4" 272
Ray Lewis 6'1" 250
Junior Seau 6'3" 250
Takeo Spikes 6'2" 242
Terrell Suggs 6'3" 260
Lofa Tatupu 6'0" 242
Brian Urlacher 6'4" 258
Nate Webster 6'0" 232
Channing Crowder 6'2" 242
When offensive lineman are average 6'6" 320lbs a 6 foot 220lb linebacker has to be bad ass to make it at that position.
Guys like Zach Thomas 5'11" 228 are rare and few and far between, he is the exception and it's because he's a tackling machine and a pro bowler that he is still around.
BIG MISTAKE
I dont think he will get drafted, free agent route for Myles.
I'm still pulling for him but I think he's going to have to really, really impress in camp.
