I'd have to see more of him in pass coverage, but does anyone else see Kuechly when they watch his tape? FLYS all over the field and has incredible recognition skills
Compared him earlier to former USC Trojan - Chris Galippo (highlights below).

I feel like he's already a bigger, thicker ILB. A real throw back - maybe not elite sideline to sideline speed but a thumper that drives ball carriers back. Also, few if any false steps. Finds the ball through traffic, takes on blocks - he's what you want in an ILB. I think if Galippo wasn't injured so often he would have been a much better player for them.
If there's anyone that ND is after right now that reminds me of Kuechly it's Pete Werner. I know some guys on here were pimping Ethan Tucky as a Kuechly clone but that kid was body long with short limbs and spent a ton of time with his hand in the dirt. Werner is similar is size and build and hits with authority although he may not be filled out to the extent that Adams is. He also seems to have a ton of room to grow, long limbs and a fluidity in his movement/change of direction when he's chasing down ball carriers. He makes it look easy. He likely won't be as good as Kuechly, but I think he'll be a stud.
Kuechly Jr. highlight:
