I haven't seen a single scouting report that says that Sorensen is a soft hitter or even a poor tackler. I've seen most scouting reports specifically say he's a hard hitter and a sure tackler. That's based on live snaps over many, many games on the collegiate level in games that actually count.
Again, you are so obsessed with the preseason being some kind of predictor of what he is. If I'm worried about Sorensen, it's that he doesn't have elite speed or fluid hips. It's that he's relying on football smarts and seems to have some development to do there. Because that's a continuation of weaknesses we saw on the scouting report. Using a few preseason games to assume the guy is terrible at things he did very well in college? Let's not over-generalize.
t's a good thing we rely a lot more on the bigger picture to make these decisions than judging how a rookie reacts to being thrown into the fire right away. Knile Davis, Kelce, and Cooper were terrible this time last year.
