The Cleveland Browns have done a good job finding linebackers in the mid-rounds in recent drafts. Here, we look at Ben Burr-Kirven as a potential draft prospect.
Let us start with some positives:
• Ben Burr-Kirven has the Football IQ/instincts to sniff out the ball which makes his shortcomings not so short.
• He doesn’t fall for play action, he is a downhill linebacker that will step up into gaps and meet running backs when it’s up the middle.
• If he’s not making the tackle he’s the next man there
• Does well to drop back into zone in the middle and not give up many yards after the catch.
