Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. promises to be a valuable asset to whatever NFL team he ends up on. Given his dominance at the linebacker position and how well he performed again this season, he should be a first-round prospect.
However, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller, appearing on ACC Network this week, said that the decreased value of the linebacker position in the NFL may cause Trotter to slip to the second round, even near the end of the second round.
“I think a year ago, his name was in the mix as a potential first-round player,” Miller said.
