It’s a mark of just how good the linebacker class in the 2022 NFL Draft looks that Alabama linebacker Christian Harris isn’t almost an afterthought.
In almost any other draft, Harris would be one widely discussed. After all, any player who has his athletic traits, was as productive as he was in Nick Saban’s defense, and got better every year would be a sought-after prospect. But this year we have such a deep class of smart, athletic, and accomplished linebackers that’s it’s tough for any to stand out.
That could be good news for a team like the New York Giants.
