Positives:
Karlos Dansby is a physically gifted football player. He has great size and speed, tremendous range, and excellent pass rushing skills. He is a hard hitter and a solid tackler. He could play either outside position in the NFL.The senior linebacker is very athletic and he has a long wing span. He is terrific off the edge, and will probably be used as an every down player in the NFL. He is solid against the run, has the ability to stay with the tight end in coverage, and consistently provides an outside pass rush. He shows tremendous closing speed whether in pass rush or running down a ball carrier.
Negatives:
Dansby needs to work on his upper-body strength a little, and learn to shed blocks quicker. He also could stand to work on his coverage skills. He needs a little polishing still.
Projection:
Dansby is a tremendous athlete with a huge upside. I really love his potential and really expect him to be an impact player at linebacker in the NFL. He should be a mid-to-late first-round pick.
