Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5304434, member: 722"] Deslauriers definitely seems to have the speed. His recruiting thread says he's at 4.61 speed, which makes him about average for OLB in the NFL and faster than average for ILB (source: two different sites sourced by Google AI) by about .15 seconds in the 40. Measurements and speed really can't be trusted until you see somebody's combine measurements, so take the information at your own risk. But if Deslauriers is actually 230ish and running a 4.61, he has all the physical tools to play right away. Between the returning guys, Grant moving up like Barron did, and Deslauriers, I think we can fill the two linebacker spots with quality. I think we might want another transfer linebacker to come in anyway, because we won't have adequate quality depth for a long season if we have bad injury luck. [/QUOTE]
