UCLA linebacker Myles Jack is a highly touted prospect at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, with NFL Media’s Mike Mayock and Bucky Brooks rating him as their second-best linebacker in the class.
If there’s one team that’s no stranger to UCLA linebackers, it’s the Vikings. Minnesota drafted UCLA roommates Anthony Barr in 2014 (ninth overall) and Eric Kendricks in 2015 (45th overall). In Jack’s media session Friday, he said he admired both of his older teammates.
“Anthony [Barr] was kind of the beginning, and then I was kind of in awe of them,” Jack said.
