Yet people saying he was a bad/wasted pick or a bad example of JA talent finding are overblowing it big time. He was a 6th round pick who was capable to start and do something for the team effectively as a rookie. It's rare for a 6th round pick to play 13 games or contribute much anything to a team at all.

Well, I for one, am not saying he was a wasted pick. To me he's a guy who was pushed into the starting lineup for only Lovie knows why and should have never been there. It would have been better for him to play special teams and develop possibly from the bench and let him show what he could do this year in training camp instead of putting him in the starting role last year when in my opinion he didnt belong.
