-He has a “unorthodox” style. It confuses some opponents, but as teams get tape on him, I could see that being a problem.
-Likewise, if he gets stalemated, he sort of just disappears on a play. When he wins immediately, you immediately see it; alas, we he gets blocked, you don’t notice him on the play.
-That said, he has vastly improved his “motor”. Statistically, he had a better junior season. As a senior, he became an All American once he understood how “team” defense works, and that being blocked by two linemen doesn’t mean that you have “lost” (it means that your teammates can make a play).
(Indeed. Weaver will get a Zoom interview at the minimum.)
