He honestly reminds me a lot of Hitchens.
And that's fine. Hitchens would've been a strong player here had he been drafted into this system and not lost a step. His 2018 season was a bit of a washout due to a lack of familiarity with the system and his role but in '19 and '20 he was a solid player even as his athleticism continued to decline.
So take the younger version of him when he was a step faster and have him more familiar with the system the whole time and you'd have had a nice player.
Bolton's ceiling is a little higher than that because I think he's a tick more athletic than Hitchens was at his best and a tick more intuitive. He's just a little bit better at all the things Hitchens was good at when he was at his best. So he can be a slightly better player.
And that would be a godsent in the middle of this LB corps.
