2016 Rams Roster Preview: LB Darreon Herring Needs To Start Making Plays

Related Topics: Linebacker, Herring

Darreon Herring has the intelligence to play linebacker, but does he have the athleticism and dynamic ability to be a difference maker?

Darreon Herring hails from Vanderbilt, the least SEC school in the SEC. He was a three-year starter for the Commodores, though he did not improve much on the stat sheet from year to year.

Over the course of his senior season, Herring posted just 34 solo tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. He does not have the speed to be a play maker, even at the collegiate level. Herring has to rely on his awareness, fundamentals and strength to be a viable player.
