Top NCAA Football Odds Linebacker Prospects For 2016 NFL Draft
Written by Jordan Walters on November 18, 2015
Over the recent past, the linebacker position has tremendously changed at the National Football League level. Unlike in the past when nearly any skilled defender would pass on for the position, the current linebackers are expected to be big and strong enough to tackle opposing players, fast enough to chase them in the running game, and instinctual and fluid enough to drop back in coverage, leave alone defending the pass. For such reasons, there are just a handful of players with such qualities to serve at this position with high need. Looking at the current scope of NCAA football prospects, there is however no doubt that there will be a good number of premium linebackers to choose from during the 2016 NFL Draft. Here are some of the top College Football betting linebacker prospects that could dominate the top selections in next year’s NFL Draft.
