Linebackers

  • Ryan Kerrigan
  • Shaun Dion Hamilton
  • Jon Bostic
  • Ryan Anderson
  • Montez Sweat
  • Josh Harvey-Clemons
  • Cole Holcomb
  • Cassanova McKinzy
  • Jordan Brailford

Ryan Kerrigan is an underrated outside linebacker who has been a franchise cornerstone since getting drafted in 2011. Anderson offers toughness and skill at the other outside linebacker spot while Sweat adds excellent speed and athleticism to the group. Hamilton and Bostic are tough downhill linebackers in the middle. Josh Harvey-Clemons and Cole Holcomb are both speedy and more athletic linebackers who add depth on the inside. McKinzy and Brailford both add pass-rushing ability and depth at outside linebacker.
