Back to Studs, I go back to the comment that Grad has now made twice (I believe) about him being a gamer. We all know that's something you cannot coach, and it's something that the great LBs just have. Grad has mentioned that Studlien doesn't have the measurables of some of the others and that's reflected in his current position sans an offer. Question I have is, is this anywhere remotely similar to AJ? We all know the story of how he came in relatively unheralded (outside Ohio) but had the instincts that made him great. (edit, perhaps the reason AJ wasn't heralded may not have been measurables, but the fact that he was injured.) In any event, just curious about such similarities.

Please note, I'm not here to in any way suggest that Studlien is the next Hawk...I'm just asking if that is a similar scenario.

Yes, but I'd rather have the opportunity for him to be the next Hawk rather than the next Leman.
