LINEBACKER
Top Prospects
Terrell Lewis | Alabama
Malik Harrison | Ohio State
Anfernee Jennings | Alabama
Both Alabama players are listed simply as linebackers for this week, which may give us a hint that NFL teams want to see what both Lewis and Jennings can do in off-ball responsibilities. They’ve both shined as edge rushers, but the league’s decision-makers may want to see how versatile they can be at the next level. Harrison is yet another downhill thumper to come out of Columbus with all the tools to be a Day 1 starter.
Sleeper to Watch
Akeem Davis-Gaither | Appalachian State
If your favorite NFL team is looking for a lean, mean, tackling machine, Davis-Gaither is their man. An athletic playmaker who can fly all over the field, Davis-Gaither is the perfect fit for any 4-3 team who needs a weakside backer in the Lavonte David mold.
