No he was not, he was slow, had little burst, watch him run on film and tell me that guy is athletic. And if you think he is athletic pop in some CJ Mosley and Myles Jack and look at the difference. When I think of athletic linebackers I think of guys like Shazier or Jaylon Smith. Borland is not even close to that. Super athletic and Borland in the same sentence is just funny. The guy did most of his work against the run and held his own in coverage.
