He entered the NFL in 2009, when he was the fourth player selected overall in the first round of the entry draft by the Thrashers. He had an unbelievable run in the minors, having won the Memorial Cup with the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League(WHL) in 2007. He finished as runner-up for the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year in 2008, and he was named to the WHL West First All-Star Team in 2009.
