Break Down Jonathan Bostic

By Joseph Zalewski

With the 50th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft the Chicago Bears select Jonathan Bostic Linebacker Florida. Bostic has played with Florida from 2009 to 2012 playing in 32 games for the Gators. In those games he has recorded 237 tackles 7.5 sacks and 5 interceptions. Bostic has somethings when I looked at film that made me think this kid is gonna a star and other that he needs to work on. Lets break down Jonathan Bostic. Pass Rusher this kid is a very good pass rusher he has had more sucess rushing on the edge then straight up the middle. Run Defense this kid is very good aginst the run, but one thing the concerns me is he get held up by linemen alot on the run. In coverage his coverage is something he needs to work on some plays he is very good other plays the guy who he was covering goes for a positive play. Film Study this kid has a natural ability to diagnose a play and be the right place to make a play. His pursuit of the ball is very good I mean he could be a little bit more aggressive on his pursuit but that is something that comes with time. He is a very aggressive and physical football player.  My personal take being along side Lance Briggs is gonna help him big time with the coverag,e and the pass rushing up the middle this kid is gonna make mistakes all rookies do. Thats part of the NFL but bottom line having this kid on the Chicago Bears makes them a better team. I Like the pick and it help with the depth at Linebacker and who know he could be a starting Linebacker for Chicago this year.
