15 Philadelphia Eagles LB targets to potentially replace Nigel Bradham
player. 874. . . . Jordyn Brooks. 3
Until they start playing defense in the Big 12, the standout guys at the schools that don’t get talked about as often aren’t going to get the national acclaim that they probably deserve.
For that reason, Texas Tech Red Raiders standout Jordyn Brooks didn’t get a ton of national pub all season, but anyone that knows the game recognizes that he’s in the top five of the best linebackers in the 2020 draft class.
He’s most likely to come off of draft boards on Day 2 of April’s draft after racking up 108 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2019. The last time that the Eagles found an inside linebacker in the great state of Texas, things worked out pretty well. That was Jordan Hicks.
Could Philly find another potential starter from the ‘lone star state’ in the form of Brooks?
. . Troy Dye. 4. player. 820.
When you think of the Oregon Ducks, you typically think about offense, but great defensive talent can be found there from time to time as well.
In 2019, inside linebacker prospect Troy Dye was all over the place for the Ducks, tallying 84 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two picks, four passes defended, and two forced fumbles. He’s among the biggest and most rangy guys on this roster, standing at six-foot-four and weighing in at 224 pounds.
He figures to come off of draft boards sometime between the latter part of the second day of April’s selection meeting or early on the third.
