[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1036517, member: 10086"] As far as Hopper. He was another Missouri product trending in the direction of his predecessor, Nick Bolton. Had Hopper not been dealing with injuries? I can see where he was projected to build off his 2022 campaign (2nd year as Starter) Projecting out his 4th year Junior season. By all accounts 2023 Hopper should’ve been in that 80-90 Tackles 15 TFL 3 Sacks 5 PD 1 INT Let’s make no bones about it.. that type production above would’ve put him solidly in that class of LB who starts in a Rookie season. I believe we took a chance that THIS is the Hopper we could get at #91 Now let’s be frank. Ty’rons 2023 production was still “good”, but it’s obvious he wasn’t playing to his ceiling at all. He also has a pretty ideal height at 6’2” 228lb to fill out a few more pounds into a pro typical modern LB I Remember his predecessor took very similar or equivalent type arguments. Too small, too slow.. probably a Day 3 guy. His biggest problem now is getting his SB ring off to shower. This was Nick Bolton in 2021 from the same School. [I]“Bolton could play on the inside of a 3-4 defense in the NFL, but his best fit could come as 4-3 Mike – middle – linebacker.
