Eagles best LB options in NFL Draft (other than Nakobe Dean, Devin Lloyd)

Damone Clark should be the third linebacker on the Eagles draft board.

There isn’t much to dislike about Damone Clark‘s game. He was, in a couple of words, nearly unstoppable for the LSU Tigers during their most recent college football season.

Standing at six-foot-two and tipping the scales at 240 pounds, Clark was a defensive Swiss-Army knife, bringing the guy with the ball down 135 times throughout 12 games en route to a First-Team All-SEC nod and a spot on the Sporting News’ all-star squad after being named a Second-Team All-American by them.

Before this season, Damone Clark was getting Micah Parsons comparisons. Here’s the skinny. Parsons is more explosive and a slightly better tackler, but Clark is more instinctual. Playing on a bad football team that wasn’t always in the spotlight hurt him some, but after an impressive trip to the most recent NFL Scouting Combine, one in which he ran an impressive 4.57-second 40-yard dash, we can almost guarantee that after his Pro Day, he’ll receive tons of mention.

Write his name down, highlight it, and put an asterisk by it. Damone Clark is a star in the making. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares him to Keenan Robinson in his draft profile. That’s pretty good company, deservedly so for the man that should be seen as the best linebacker prospect in this draft not named Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean.
