Vining anchored his defense with a dominant, high motor presence at linebacker, consistently flying to the football and finishing plays with authority. He had 62 tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks while adding an eye catching four interceptions that highlight his versatility in coverage. Vining sheds blocks quickly, closes space in a hurry and breaks down well in the open field. He has good instincts as well as anticipation which helps him diagnose the play and get around the ball. The ability to impact the game as both a run defender and pass disruptor separates him. Building on this breakout campaign could elevate Vining’s profile as a true difference maker moving forward.
