Don’t Violate Steven Means’ Personal Space
April 27th, 2013
Bucs new outside linebacker Steven Means can do a lot of things. He can play defensive end in both a 43 defense and a 34 defense. He can play defensive end as well as outside linebacker.
Oh, and he can rush the passer too, with 18.5 sacks in four years. Means credits his ability to get to the passer to a unique motivational tool:
Means doesn’t like to be touched.
“I credit my father for that, I credit my mom,” Means said. “But at the same time, I just don’t like to be touched. I came up in an environment that is really not easy. So I don’t like nobody touching me. That is probably why I am a decent pass rusher. I don’t like offensive linemen touching me so I want to get them off me as quick as possible.”
Means also admitted he has a burning anger when he takes the field.
“Nasty attitude? Most definitely,” Means said. “I get mad just at someone lining up across from me. I like hitting. I love hitting the quarterback.
“I am willing to do whatever I have to do, even if that means just snapping the ball. It’s a tribute.”
Means’ issue with touching reminds Joe of a quality AC/DC song.

Somebody really likes this guy a lot to have selected him in the 5th. He may have gone undrafted. Let’s hope we are right on this one. I am guessing that Means has a huge upside. I do see that he has almost as much speed as Banks….that’s pretty good for a big guy and….he looks like a beast!!!

This guy will become a pro bowl OLB, what and see. Best draft pick so far after Banks!

He has a knack for shedding blocks quickly and violently and getting into the backfield. Also has fantastic pursuit skills and play recognition.
