Germaine Pratt is a new leader in the linebacker room

Germaine Pratt was part of Zac Taylor’s first draft class in 2019. Now, he is one of the most experienced linebackers on the roster.

With only 24 games started, the next linebacker is Jordan Evans with nine (though Evans has 28 games played on Pratt).

Other linebackers on the roster include Logan Wilson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, Markus Bailey, Joe Bachie, and Keandre Jones. None of them have ever started, and only the first two have had significant action.

Pratt, at just 25 years of age, has quickly found himself in a leadership role as a returning starter.
