Can the Atlanta Falcons turn J.D. Bertrand into a future starter at linebacker?

Atlanta Falcons fifth-round linebacker J.D. Bertrand is as tough as they come but is he tough enough to be a future starter? Host Aaron Freeman discusses his evaluation of Bertrand from watching his film at Notre Dame. He discusses why he had low expectations when beginning to watch Bertrand, and how they were raised after watching the film. He discusses question marks surrounding Bertrand's athleticism and whether or not his work ethic, toughness, and character can compensate for that.
Later, he breaks down Bertrand's potential to be not just a special teams contributor, but also a starter in the NFL. Finally, he makes some NFL player comparisons to look at Bertrand's floor, ceiling, and "eye level" in the pros.
