There might be only one or two off-ball linebackers selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Somewhat similarly to running backs on offense, off-ball linebackers are increasingly dropping further in the draft. Plus, the Bears are pretty set at LB though they may look to fill a need at special teams.
There might be only one or two off-ball linebackers selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Somewhat similarly to running backs on offense, off-ball linebackers are increasingly dropping further in the draft as the years go by. Teams are far more likely to prioritize pass rushers and cornerbacks with their premium draft picks.
Day 2 prospects Jack Campbell, Iowa: Campbell won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker, to go along with first-team All-American and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2022. He totaled 128 tackles last season after leading FBS football with 143 tackles in 2021. He has great length and athleticism and found a way to get his hands on the football with five interceptions and three forced fumbles in college.
Day 3 prospects Henry To'oTo'o, Alabama: To'oTo'o transferred from Tennessee to Alabama in 2021 and totaled 206 tackles over two seasons. He doesn't have a huge body or great length, but he always seems to put himself in position to make plays. He didn't have great ball production with only one interception and one forced fumble over his entire college career. He's likely a good backup or possibly a low-end starter at linebacker.
