Linebackers

  • Reggie Ragland
  • Damien Wilson
  • Anthony Hitchens
  • Darron Lee
  • Jeremiah Attaochu
  • Dorian O’Daniel

Ragland is the perfect middle linebacker for the new defense. Wilson, Hitchens, and Attaochu seem a little out of position in the new defense but should create an adequate rotation at outside linebacker. Lee and O’Daniel are young linebackers who will get a lot of playing time as athletic players who can make plays all over the field.

Player to watch: Ben Niemann
