As for now, your assessment of him is limited, as is everyone else's.
He is raw, but has talent and A LOT of upside.
Sapp had 27 Tackles 1 int in his rookie season.
Dorsey has already exceeded his tackles and matched his int stats. Plus forced a fumble in less games.
I just think everyone expected him to come in and explode off the ball, and pancake opposing guards. I knew that he would be slow in coming, DT's always are unless they have more talent on either side of them, which Dorsey most definatly does not have.
I believe he will be good and a much needed motivational leader for the Chiefs. |
Appreciate your encouragement of faith.
But he has a long, long way to go.
There is a lot of room for improvement thats for sure. He had great explosion and power for a DT coming out of college. I watched LSU games last year, so I don't doubt him in that regard. It just hasn't transcended well for him at the NFL level. Maybe part of the reason is his difficulty to adjust at the NFL level? The speed of the game is a heck of a lot faster.
*I don't consider Dorsey raw. He needs to do something that can improve on his technique, but I really think he is gonna need a great off-season workout going for him or something in order for himself to make strides.
