Paul Worrilow has very solid numbers in his first two years in the NFL, but good numbers don’t always mean that the player is actually good. Worrilow made numerous mistakes in 2014. He was terrible in run defense and was lackluster in pass protection. However, Worrilow has flourished under Dan Quinn thus far in 2015.

Worrilow has flown under the radar in this year’s preseason, but is far from forgotten. In his two preseason games in 2015, Worrilow has a touchdown and several great pass breakups in coverage. Many believe he will flourish under Quinn’s system and will prove to be one of the top middle linebackers in all of football.
