Athleticism can be overrated when the football IQ isn't there. See: Dorian O'Daniel. In Spags' scheme, if he can't get the mental part down, he won't play. Hopefully he can get it down by midseason or even a little later but I don't expect to see him taking full-time snaps until next year.

Then again, he could be like Juan Thornhill and be 80% there on day 1. It's all going to be about how many mental mistakes he's making and if the risk is worth it.
