Compare Kirksey to Borland, who a lot of us had discussions about:

and compare him to Shazier, who was a high first round pick:

Good lord! They are not athletically in the same breath but im betting shazier has a couple of years before he is a good lb. He didnt seem to have the best instincts at OSU. Freak athlete tho. Kirksey has better anticipation and football instincts right now.
