Not thinking of any of this as a negative, more just considering how much better he can get and where that will show up.

The short answer is, 'who knows?'
The chaining his moves thing is definitely something he'll work on over the next three or four years, imo. But there's so much grey area it's pretty hard to tell what his eventually ceiling might be. Heck, next year his body is probably going to change fairly dramatically, just from the standpoint of diet and physical training. And what's that going to look like exactly? Will he come in at 245 or 265?
The point is that because he came from a smaller program he's probably not anywhere near his best physical shape/conditioning. Once he finds his NFL body, then we'll see what he really can become.
I think that as long as he keeps that supercharged core of his, he could be one of the great Chiefs power-rushers, maybe even in the NFL. Like Chiefs Ring of Honor great. Maybe HOF great, if he can stay healthy and keep working on his craft at an elite level. In spite of his shorter-than-normal arms and lack of bendiness.
