Miami Hurricanes NFL Draft Profile: Raphael Kirby

ILB/OLB 6'0 232

Key Stats: 19 career starts, 124 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 2 INT.

Combine results - 33 reps bench press, did not run.

Previous 40 times were in the 4.6 - 4.7 range.

***Suffered season ending injury (ACL tear) in Week 7 of his senior season.

Overview:

Kirby was having a very nice senior season prior to tearing his ACL, leading the team with 44 tackles.

Before the season he was named one the team captains.

He's a bit undersized to be a 3-4 ILB or Mike in a 4-3 (roles he was filling in UM"s hybrid D his final season) and perhaps lacks the athleticism to play on the outside (positions he played earlier in his career).
