Linebacker (6)

When you look at this group of linebackers only one word comes to mind – tackles! This linebacker corps includes one of the NFL’s future Hall of Famers with Luke Kuechly, a hard hitter, in addition to the linebacker who brought “Keep Pounding” to the team – Sam Mills.

Given the stacked defensive line performing in front of this group, no running back would be safe. If the linemen didn’t make an immediate tackle, any of these linebackers selected would be there to rack up a tackle for a loss on likely every play.
