STRENGTHS
Logan is a tackling machine with excellent natural strength. He has the good foot speed and an excellent burst to the ball. He is patient, waiting for the play to develop in front of him before committing to it but when he does, he commits and finishes. He can play inside or outside because of his high football IQ. He can be used to blitz off the line of scrimmage because of his burst and quickness. He can meet bigger offensive lineman, shed and make tackles in fact, I have seen him on film explode through a whole and put offensive lineman on their backs with little effort while moving to fill his gap and make a tackle. He shows leadership skills and communicates well with his teammates. Logan does a good job in zone converge and I suspect he will do a good job in single coverage if the defense calls for it. Logan is underrated right now but I suspect after he works out at the combine that will all change.
CONCERNS
Logan has to prove that he has some cover skills. He will also have to run a solid or better than solid 40 time or most teams will think he is just a 2 down linebacker or just a special team’s player. His workout at the combine will be the deciding factor for sure. From what I see in the film I don’t think the combine is going to be a problem. Logan is more athletic than most think.
BOTTOM LINE 2.67
When you look up online, (or in a dictionary Yup, they still have them in the library) for the definition of the linebacker position, I suspect you will see Logan’s face beside the definition of the standard. Logan is smart and athletic and has the natural strength to handle the linebacker position in any style of defense. I suspect putting 4 big defensive linemen in front of him and letting him run to the play will allow him to impact more than, taking on those big-bodied offensive linemen, shedding and then making plays but you never know for sure. The key to Logan playing the inside position or if he is more of an outside linebacker will have everything to do with his 40 time in the combine. That forty times will affect his draft status and also will affect his ability to play linebacker in any style of defense. That 40 time will also decide if Logan will be considered as an every-down linebacker or if he will just be a 2 down linebacker having to come off the field on passing downs. That being said, I believe that once Logan gets on the field he should become a core player for your defense and a fan favorite for years to come.
