1. McClain, Rolando* Alabama 6030 255 4.70

2. Spikes, Brandon Florida 6030 250 4.70

3. Johnson, Micah Kentucky 6021 256 4.83

4. Angerer, Pat Iowa 5114 233 4.70

Junior entry, Rolando McClain is instinctive and relentless in his play.
Sudden to read and react. A defensive quarterback. Effective edge blitzer
that also scrapes tight off either tackle to help bottle up the running game.
Brandon Spikes was slowed by a groin pull early in the year. Can play
inside or outside, depending on the scheme. Productive edge rusher. Big,
physical, and instinctive. Micah Johnson has good instincts and lateral
quickness. Has the size to fill the inside gaps. Needs work on shedding the
low cut blocks better. Stronger in the running game than pass defense at
this point. Two down linebacker. Pat Angerer is productive sideline to
sideline and has top end instincts and feel for the game. Always around the
ball. Intense and fills the running lanes with strength and gusto. Good
leader. AVERAGE
