Urlacher could run a 5.0 40 to Kehl's 4.6 40 and still be a much better player.

On Urlacher:
Quote:
He finished his career with 422 tackles, 3 interceptions, 11 forced fumbles, and even 7 receptions that went for 6 touchdowns. He was named an All-American and was one of the most highly touted players of the 2000 NFL Draft.
Which seems to compare very favorably to Kehl's career stats: 205 tackles, 3 int, (no info on FF)...Without taking into account defensive scheme differences.


Kehl is certainly not touted as highly as Urlacher, and once again, likely won't be as successful.

Again, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Kehl turns out to be nearly as good.
