The Linebacker position seems to be packed with talent at the professional level- freak athletes who can get to the quarterback within seconds of the snap, coverage linebackers that are shutting down elite offensive talents, and field generals who anchor their defense. But what about someone who can do all of that? Does a player like that even exist?
Enter Bo Stonerod: 6'1 250lb linebacker coming in hot out of LSU. 2 time All American, Dick Butkus award winner, avid chess master. It's not clear exactly where he will land on the draft board yet - but what is clear is whatever team that drafts him will end up with the BEST player in this class, you can book that one.
We haven't seen a player this well rounded since Fred Warner back in San Francisco in the 20s. Not only can he run with most running backs and receivers, but he can also make your best offensive lineman look like a pop warner bench player. His blend of raw power and quick finesse moves Bo has the ability to be a game wrecker at the line of scrimmage or create a black hole in the secondary, denying any passes in his vicinity. To round it all out he averaged over 10 tackles a game in back to back seasons at LSU, so it's very clear he can do it all.
Currently he's projected to go in the 3rd round, which can primarily be attributed to a very publicized confrontation he had with a large mouse that will remain unnamed. Because of this incident he missed 5 crucial games in the season, and has created a narrative of "Can Bo Stonerod be trusted?" around the league. While that is something to stay tuned in on, something that you can be sure of is this guy can ball, and he can elevate a defense on day 1.
