A base 4-3 defense with a need for athletic, sideline-to-sideline linebackers to defend the run and cover in space.
Year 1 impact starter as a WILL linebacker, with the ceiling to become an All-Pro caliber, tackle-accumulating leader.
A two-gap 3-4 defense that requires him to consistently play at the line of scrimmage and shed blocks directly.
Weatherspoon's athleticism and playmaking ability make him an ideal fit for schemes that prioritize speed and versatility at the linebacker position.
Selected #19 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Missouri.
