Official Bio

 		Strengths:
Decent size and bulk...Excellent instincts...Is quick to read and react...Solid range and does a great job in pursuit...Intense and nasty with a non-stop motor...Has a high football IQ...Tough...Hard worker and team leader...Experienced...Productive.

Weaknesses:
Limited athletically...Lacks great timed speed and quickness...Hips aren't fluid and he struggles to match up in coverage...Takes too long to shed blocks...An average pass rusher and blitzer...Has some health / durability concerns...Very little upside.

Notes:
First name is Jeremy...Redshirted in '03 and then started the next four years...Has played both inside and outside linebacker in college..Still recovering from an ankle injury that required surgery...A highly decorated college star who was one of the keys behind the Illini programs resurgence...A overachiever who gets by more on intangibles than physical tools...A classic case of a great college player who is not nearly the pro prospect that his press clippings might lead you to believe...Profiles as more of a backup and special teamer but he is also the type of kid you hate to doubt...Won't be a star but there's a roster spot somewhere for a player like this.
