FSU fan here.
Bradhams first two years he took bad angles and was slow to react. He also struggled in coverage. His junior season he improved all of those things, which I attribute to coaching because FSU brought in a new defensive coordinator and LB coach (Mark Stoops and Greg Hudson).
His senior season started off on the wrong foot because he got 2 or 3 personal fouls. But past those bone headed plays, he finally put it all together and played like the 5 star LB fans envisioned. He had a wonderful senior season, and I thought for sure he would be drafted in the top 3 rounds.
He was FSU's leading tackler every year he started, including this past season where FSU was 2nd against the run in the country (only behind Bama.) Strong, fast, hard hitter, and a high motor. He'll immediately be a big time special teams player for you guys and I honestly see him being a longtime starter in the league. JMO.
He's a soft spoken guy, but teammates say he is a smack talker on the field. Very intense guy, though always a kind person off the field.
Congrats on the pickup.

Yeah I could see him starting by the mid point this year.

Appreciate the input of someone who obviously saw a lot of him at the collegiate level. I think we're all pretty happy with this pick, especially in the 4th round. Like you, I thought he'd be gone yesterday.

I like this pick a lot. I think he will push Morrison for the starting spot, but at worst should be very good depth at both OLB spots.

Even if he can't unseat Morrison this year, we got a hell of a player for the future! Bradham was #2 on my list of draft crushes after J. Fleming.

Yep, Morrison and Barnett only have so much tread left on the tires. He should be able to replace either when the time comes.

| Nice pick. He didn't get competent coaching in his first two years, but last year really improved especially in pass coverage. He can be a really solid player and should have an immediate impact on special teams. |
