ESPN’s Chris Low warned NFL personnel not to overlook former BYU outside linebacker Fred Warner in the lead-up to this year’s NFL draft.
The San Francisco 49ers took a chance on Warner Friday, selecting the 6-foot-3, 236-pound ‘backer in the third round with the 70th overall pick of the 2018 draft in Arlington, Texas.
Low listed Warner among five players who he predicted, based on their college numbers, would outperform where they were drafted.
Warner, a three-year starter for the Cougars, put up an impressive stat line during his time in Provo.
