It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Sorry bud, in those search results there's some very complimentary things that Bellichick has said about the kid... hard worker, constantly on the field, takes advantage of every opportunity he's given, is smart, and even admits that he probably should have been drafted in round 7 instead of Ruud. Thought that stuff might have been helpful since the crystal ball is broken these days.I can google it all I want but it won't tell me IF he has a real future with us or not.
thanks anyway
That sounds just about what BB seems to think of him.. well rounded and versatile, can do a little of this and a little of that. Probably not a world-beater, but solid.All in all, he can be an above average starter in this league, although I am not sure he can be great. Im sure once he familiarizes himself more to the playbook he will get better.

He was a hell of a lot better than Victor Hobson who is complaining
about having been cut to make room for Guyton.
I was checking the roster and seen his name on it. Don't remember seeing him in the few games I got to see on TV.
Is he someone with a future with us?
thanks
I feel that Guyton is going to become a solid contributor on this defense in the future. I disagree about the disparity between playing speed and timed speed. When he kicks it, he can run. Often, "fast" players lack the suddeness or explosion to be effective in their playing speed. Guyton showed me this season that he had pretty good acceleration, pretty good handwork and decent agility. He does have the quickness to compliment his speed. The knocks on him from this year mostly stem from him being a rookie in a complex scheme. He seemed to play like a rookie in his reads/assignments. That said, his improvement was visible. He was willing to attack guards, he was willing to do whatever was asked. He was willing to aggressively fill the A gap, he scraped well, I think he's better than he gets credit for. He's not going to play Mike in the base 34, but he will be highly effective working out of the sub-packages, or even the Will out of a pass-focused 4 linebacker set.
Ultimately, I think that Guyton will be with this team for a while. I think that he's a player, and one that can fill in situationally and be a very good player. In the event that he needs to takeover for somebody in the starting lineup, I think that he will be serviceable. I envision him as the Jarvis Green on the LB corps. Great situational, good fill-in if necessary.
He's sound just ok but not a possible star.
thanks Billdog
He's quick and he seems to hustle.
However, over 230 players were picked and he wasn't one of them.
Wes Welker, the best slot receiver in the history of the NFL,
was an undrafted free agent.
