Spikes: ‘Defense showing signs of being great’

I don’t know how long this trio will be together but they really have a chance to be special. Such an outstanding combination of speed, aggression, and physicality.

“We’re all SEC linebackers and we know we’re really physical and we’re athletic too,” said Spikes when asked about the relationship between the three players. “Jerod can do it all, Hightower can do it all, I’m just a guy. I do my job. It’s fun to have those guys around. As far as Jerod, he’s a savvy vet, he does it the right way and I try to follow in his footsteps.”
