Is Brian Cushing LB of USC the next Jack Tatum or Jack Lambert?

Question

If you watched any SC games last year you would have noticed that he's a Man among boys out there. He's prolly the Hardest hitting LB in the Nation even better than his teammate Ray Maualuga. I think he compares to LB greats Jack Tatum and and even Lambert. What do you think?

Answer 1

let's not jump the gun comparing a college linebacker to two of the best ever...but he's certainly an extremely talented kid and is on the right track to becoming a star

Answer 2

Cushing is a beast.  

Answer 3

Tatum was a saftey, he just hit like a linebacker. To answer your question I hope so. So far, the only knock on Cushing is injury, and I hope it doesn't plague him his entire career.

Answer 4

Brian Cushing might be a great player in the NFL he is a Jersey guy after all, but his career has been marred by injuries and drug allegations. If his talent is God given and didn't come from a syringe the sky could be the limit.

As for Jack Tatum he played corner back, linebacker and safety at Ohio State.
