In this episode, we dive into the dynamic world of linebacker prospects, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and potential draft positions.
First up is Payton Wilson from NC State, a standout linebacker boasting impressive statistics, including 138 tackles and 17.5 tackles for loss in the 2023 season. Despite concerns about his injury history, Wilson's speed, agility, and proficiency as a blitzer position him as a solid second-round pick.
