Dwayne Rudd, Alabama, OLB
6-2 245 lbs

Rudd is the class of this year’s linebackers. His productivity at Alabama has drawn comparisons to Derrick Thomas. He covers a lot of ground on defense and can make life miserable for opposing running backs and quarterbacks. Once he reaches the ball carrier, he delivers a devastating blow. Scouts love his speed and quickness (4.5/40). Look for Rudd to be among the top 10 overall selections on draft day.
