October 10, 20241 yr Meant to say short. Sam Mills was 5'9 but not many like him and a different era.
October 11, 20241 yr 11 hours ago, Mat said: He isn't really small compared to the other top LB'ers in the league. Dean is 5'11" and 231 lbs Warner is taller at 6'3" but lighter at 230 lbs Queen is 6'0" and 232 lbs, so basically no difference Roquan Smith is 6'1" and 230 lbs, so a couple inches taller. David is 6'1" ans 233 lbs Milano is 6'0" and lighter at 223 lbs Demario Davis is bigger and heavier at 6'2" and 248 lbs Its not just about height and weight Dean is small every where, small hands, short arms etc. According to some sources he has a 40 inch vert but he didnt do that at combine or pro day so...🤷♂️ If true thats an excellent vert but it hasnt really shown up on tape His biggest issue in coverage is just his lack of length, not only is he the shortest of the LBs you listed but the short arms and small hands show his lack of length

It takes a couple of years in the NFL to start to mature and build an NFL body. Same goes for Blankenship and both have looked much better in coverage this year compared to last season. The issue with Dean was clearly the tackling in the Bucs game
October 11, 20241 yr Blankenship's strength is in his prep and game intelligence to get in the position to make plays. He is not big or physical. Tackling is not his strength either.

Sure its easy to cherry pick some guys with similar physical traits, and according to this spider graph TJ edwards is comparable but none of the other guys that were previously mentioned are Dean length wise is in the lower percentiles when it comes to size and length. https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/nakobe-dean
