When you’re the 12th overall pick of the NFL Draft, expectations are going to be high, especially if you’re a nose tackle.
When the team you play for cuts one of its best pass rushers - one that played for said team for nine seasons and was a former captain - those expectations not only become larger, but the timetable to meet them accelerates, quickly.
In all honesty, there hasn’t been much talk surrounding Vea so far this offseason and that’s not a bad thing. The franchise is still just a month out from the draft, just relieved itself of the Gerald McCoy saga, and signed Ndamukong Suh, so, there have been plenty of other topics discuss outside of Vea.
