The linebacking group, in general, is a very versatile one and this could also change as pieces are moved around. We’ve already seen these guys shuffled around in the small sample size of spring practice, and it could even change week-by-week once the season begins. Here’s how we like it right now though. Werner and Borland are almost shoo-ins to start, and from there, it’s going to be a heated competition that will make this unit even better.
