Duke leaves a lot to be desired on the field. I'm hoping he can put on some good weight this offseason

Uhh what?

Riley has never been in contention to be a starter and has played sparingly on D. And when he was in the game, he did a good job and flashed his ability and athleticism. Don't get how you can say he "leaves a lot to be desired on the field" when he hasn't been on the field that much and when he was on the field, he did a solid job.

Duke is a good fit in Arandas D and supposedly Aranda is a fan of his already. Plus, when it's an obvious pass situation, Riley can be the 1 ILB on the field which allows us to move KB around and let him rush the passer. Good complement next to KB with his athleticism and cover skills.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about Devin White and can't wait to see what he can do on the field. But I expect Riley to be he man next to KB and believe he has a fine season for us.

He's the same weight as Deion jones and heavier than Kwon was.
