5 linebackers the Patriots should consider drafting
By Rhys Knott
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. - Clemson
Like Jacobs, Trotter Jr. Is a very well-rounded linebacker. Trotter Jr. Is slightly smaller than Jacobs but has some ball-hawking tendencies. And he’s a great pass rusher. He ran a 4.6 40-yard dash and is such a fluid mover that he can smoothly avoid blocks. And while he doesn’t have blistering speed, he arrives in the backfield before the QB is ready.
With four linebackers out of contract, drafting one who can do everything would solve a couple of problems at once.
There might not a better off-ball linebacker prospect in this upcoming draft than Jeremiah Trotter Jr
