NY Jets draft: Ranking the top LB prospects in 6 key statistics

It’s time to continue our series that compares some of the top 2022 NFL draft prospects at each position in a few different advanced metrics.

After looking at edge rushers, wide receivers, cornerbacks, safeties, and offensive tackles, it’s time to do the same for the linebacker position, which is another spot where the New York Jets could possibly look for help at some point in the draft.

Here are the 11 prospects we’ll be comparing today:

  • Devin Lloyd, Utah, redshirt senior (#19 overall prospect on NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board)
  • Nakobe Dean, Georgia, junior (#25)
  • Quay Walker, Georgia, senior (#47)
  • Christian Harris, Alabama, junior (#53)
  • Leo Chenal, Wisconsin, junior (#65)
  • Chad Muma, Wyoming, senior (#69)
  • Damone Clark, LSU, senior (#72)
  • Brandon Smith, Penn State, junior (#89)
  • Troy Andersen, Montana State, redshirt senior (#93)
  • Channing Tindall, Georgia, senior (#94)
  • Darrian Beavers, Cincinnati, fifth-year senior (#97)

These are the 11 linebackers who rank among the top 100 overall players on the consensus big board at NFL Mock Draft Database.
