Chenal is an elite level athlete just no one seems to notice cause he's white.

I think it's just the relative stiffness in his hips. He's fast forward and strong as hell. But he's not super fluid and that kinda caps some of his athleticism in space. "Game agility" so to speak.

I love Gay but unless the cost is VERY friendly I think he's the odd man out. I really hope they up Chenal's usage next year. He's not exactly a nuanced rusher, but I think there's more there to tap. |

Go read scouting reports, still to this day..
Tells for white players are always "smart, heady, lunchpail type, plays hard" even if the dude has off the charts measurables. Black players will almost always stress they are great athletes but have questionable motors, it never fails. |

And look at Logan Wilson - very much a white LBer. Lesser 40, lesser vert and broad. He is, by virtually any measure, less of a raw athlete than Chenal. But even as a white LBer he gets plenty of credit for his athleticism because he's just a pretty damn fluid mover. Meanwhile Nick Bolton (noted black guy) is faster than Wilson in a straight line but isn't as agile and nobody argues Bolton is as athletic as Wilson is. I don't think it's a white guy/black guy thing - I just think it's a styles thing. Agility for LBs is often measured in how well they change directions - right, wrong or otherwise.
