GN draft decisions: Alabama LB Reggie Ragland

Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland thought seriously about turning pro after his junior season, but he decided to stay in school. In doing so, he won a national championship ring and developed into a first-round pick.

Gridironnow’s Amanda Borges breaks down the pros and cons of Ragland as an NFL linebacker.

Ragland — who measured 6 feet 1 and 259 pounds at the Senior Bowl — led the Tide with 102 tackles in 2015, 29 more than anybody else on the roster. He was the SEC defensive player player of the year and is a physical run-stuffer.
