Zach Orr surprised many people with his level of play last year. Going undrafted several years ago meant that not many people outside of the team knew his name. He had played important roles on special teams but didn’t see too many snaps on defense.
Going into the 2016 season there was a glaring hole at inside linebacker next to C.J. Mosley after the team decided to part ways with veteran Daryl Smith. Zach Orr eventually won the position. From there he never looked back.
Orr led the team in tackles in 2016. He had a remarkable season.
