If any of his other games are like that though, that makes me nervous. If not, then that's a good thing.

Oh there's plenty to be nervous about with him. He doesn't have enough sand in his pants to take on blockers effectively at the next level, but he's intriguing for one reason: special teams. The kid is an absolute ace when it comes to return coverage. He also happens to be a pretty good coverage linebacker. If a team could bulk this kid up and teach him to better take on blocks at the LOS, he could be an effective WILB in a 3-4 but I'm just as worried about his run defense.
As for the watching tape on guys, get creative and watch other players' videos. For instance, if you want to see him play run defense against Florida State, find a Dalvin Cook video against BC and watch him instead.
