Chapter Three in the position preview series looks at a position with some massive shoes to fill.
We are going to split the linebacker preview into two sections, and this post will focus on the outside linebackers. This group was left with a void when Bud Dupree graduated to be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. Luckily, it returns some experience, and is helped out by the timely transfer of a JUCO player. Before we discuss the projected depth chart, we should talk about scheme. Whereas which personnel will start and contribute is meaty conversation, the scheme is potentially even more intriguing heading into the 2015 season given returning personnel and perceived skill sets.
