Linebackers

  • Myles Jack
  • Quincy Williams
  • Leon Jacobs
  • Ramik Wilson
  • Najee Goode
  • Davis Tull
  • DJ Alexander

There is no arguing the linebacker position is hurt by Telvin Smith taking a year off and not playing in 2019. Quincy Williams was drafted in the third round as an athletic, fast, instinctive linebacker to fill the spot vacated by Smith. Jack is the prototypical athletic linebacker of today’s NFL. Jacobs is a raw, athletic player with the talent to be the other starter of the unit. Wilson and Goode are both more adept at defending the run and will provide good depth. Tull and Alexander will provide even more depth and help on Special Teams.
