DJ's been a good linebacker. He just hasn't been a great linebacker, and met the expectations of the spot he was drafted. The revolving door of failed defensive line picks certainly hasn't helped, nor has the fact that he plays a position of minimal perceived impact, nor has the fact that he (and everyone else on defense) has had inept coaching and coordinating his entire time as a pro. He's all of 26 years old, 27 in November, so the book may not be closed. We'll see.
