David's scheme versatility and athleticism would make him an ideal fit in a modern 4-3 Cover 2/Cover 3 underzone defense, especially one that incorporates a significant amount of blitzing.
Immediate starter at Will LB with the potential to develop into a Pro Bowl caliber versatile off-ball linebacker capable of playing multiple roles.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme that consistently asks linebackers to take on and shed offensive linemen rather than flow to the ball and make plays in space.
His athleticism and instincts allow him to excel in schemes that prioritize speed and coverage at the linebacker position for a long and productive career.
Selected #58 overall in Round 2 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Nebraska.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
