Grades for every LB Philadelphia Eagles have drafted since 2010
After racking up 202 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and four interceptions in college, the Eagles took Brian Rolle in the sixth round of 2011’s draft. The result was 20 games with 13 starts, 58 total tackles, a sack, and a very memorable fumble recovery that he took back to the house versus the Chicago Bears in a regular-season game loss.
The collegiate film didn’t translate to the professional level here. Grade: D
Here is another example of one of those situations where an exorbitant amount of pressure is placed on someone who shares the last name of a former relative. Greg Lloyd Jr. is the son of Greg Lloyd Sr., the Pittsburgh Steelers legend.
The efforts of the son didn’t surpass those of the father in this case. Philly’s 237th-overall selection in 2011 was released during final roster cuts, re-signed to the team’s practice squad, and promoted to the active roster in November of that year. He never registered a tackle or sack in an Eagles jersey. Grade: F
