Thor is right. Seattle usually picks UDFA well because they sign a player on what they can do not what they can't. Balwin didn't get drafted because of what he couldn't do. Seattle signed him for what he could do. It pays off. Maybe only 1 in 10. But that's better than most NFL teams. Watch the film. Knight has the skills. He's only played inside 1 year. He could. Yes, that is a big if end up the steal of the draft being he was only a 4th. He has the skills to be drafted higher. Seattle drafted him on what he can do which is get to a ball carrier and tackle him. Something Seattle was surely lacking the last few years at LB. Sure, he makes mistakes that's why he didn't get drafted. You can work on mistakes. If he can clean (most) those up, he's everything Seattle needs at LB. If he can't you can't play him. In the NFL a mistake can turn into an RB or WR hitting their head on the goal post.
This was some good content. Thor is a fun guest to see on the show.
