He was given the chance last year at ILB and was beaten out by Orr and McClellan. I think the walk-on Onwuasor beat him out in the pre-season as well. Hope he can pick up the position. May be tough for an under-sized OLB/DE who played in a smaller conference in college. Seemed like a reach at #2 last year (sound familiar?), and I have no reason to think differently now. We'll see.
I think you guys are mistaken, badly. Correa was dealing with injuries. I watched him in practice and he looked good. I think we had a bunch of "ok" MLB's and the coach just gave the nod to guys like Orr, guys who needed to prove they could be starters. I felt this way before and I still feel it now...Correa is the true underdog
At best Correa will be our Special Teams stand out. Judon, Onwuasor, McClellan, Bowser, Williams, not to mention any undrafted FA we sign. Would not be surprised if both Correa and Kaufusi are not on the final roster.
