Durst’s 2018 NFL Draft: LSU Prospects

No. 49 Arden Key, DE/OLB, 6-6, 265, Jr

2017 Stats: 22 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, 1 forced fumble

Key was PFF's top-graded true freshman edge defender in 2015. Prior to his sophomore season, Key switched from defensive end to linebacker in new defensive coordinator Dave Aranda’s 3-4 defense and responded with a school-record 12 sacks, one shy of the SEC lead. He made a few off-the-field headlines after stepping away from the football program for personal reasons in February. Then, off-season shoulder surgery and a questionable attempt to gain weight clouded things even more.
