The simple fact is that the guy hasn't played much organized football (some of it being his own fault).
The knock on him coming out, if there really was one, was that he wasn't very good at diagnosis when a play broke down. He struggled with post-snap processing and played very "out of control" at times which made him hesitant to commit.
Learning the playbook is going to paramount for him so that he can flow naturally and not have to stop and think about what he is doing.
It's also worth noting for those that don't understand why he wasn't playing in place of Niemann, is that he spent the entire offseason, according to his own words, learning the nickel buck and strong side LB. He and Niemann don't play the same positions.
