WEAKNESSES
Is not explosive as an athlete. He won’t be an extreme tester but he will be extremely consistent in what he offers

Anticipation could be better
When it goes well and he reads correctly it is really good. but when he doesn’t read it he can get flat-footed.

Tackling could be more assured.
Does have missed tackles which could be due to a lack of strength profile
Doesn’t offer a great deal of coverage skills
SUMMARY
A 4-year starter, 2 years at Tennessee before transferring to Alabama, Henry To’oTo’o is an extremely experienced linebacker who displays great leadership and communication skills. A middle-of-the-field linebacker who displays good instincts and can do a bit of everything, To’oTo’o is ready to play in the NFL now. He may not be the greatest of athletes and his tackling could become stronger but if you need a stable and secure player who is extremely consistent and has great football IQ at linebacker, then Henry To’oTo’o will be a great pick at the end of day 2.
