Yeah, 230 is on the smaller side. Most guys end up getting a little thicker as their careers progress; hoping he gets to 240 by next year.

A lot of people think he can play inside and outside after being a SAM. Good size. Solid tackler. Flashy athletic ability in space and coverage but has mostly played man coverages so far. Good instincts but needs to learn to diagnose quicker. One of the best linebackers in this class at hand usage and getting off blocks. Hasn't been asked to rush the passer very much.
He'd be one of the first guys I'd want to work with from a coaching perspective. He'd be a fun weapon to have for some of the annoying offenses being deployed these days (thanks, Sean McVay). As I mentioned a lot of people have gone into detail about how you kind of have to do some projecting with him based on where he came from but I feel very solid about his NFL projection based on what I want done in '18 and beyond. He doesn't scare me as much as he does others. I don't think he has the highest ceiling but his floor is also much higher than a lot of guys in this class and the past couple classes IMO, too.

Witherspoon matches up well with a guy like Evans, bigger, jump-ball types. We'll see what he does if/when he's matched up against a smaller, speedy guy like Ross this week. That said, I do think Richard Sherman has been a very positive influence on Witherspoon, and hopefully that will continue. If the offense can improve - and that's largely on Garoppolo - then this team could make a run.
