Some players just fall through the cracks of the NFL experience coming out of college. There are only so many NFL Scouting Combine invites to go around. Only so many slots in all star games like the Senior Bowl. That’s why a guy like former Tennessee linebacker Colton Jumper can end up being an undrafted rookie free agent despite a solid senior season in Knoxville.
Despite the Saints’ signing of Demario Davis in the offseason and 2017’s splurge on free agents and Alex Anzalone in the draft, linebacker was still mentioned as a need going into the 2018 NFL Draft.
