LB Chazz Surratt, University of North Carolina
Projection: Round 2-3
As a former childhood chess prodigy and star college quarterback, Surratt approaches the game with great competitive energy and a high-level football mind. Even though he’s only played linebacker for two seasons, Surratt has natural instincts that serve him well when blitzing or dropping into zone coverage. He’s a plus run defender who shows plenty of willingness to engage with linemen. While he gets stuck on some blocks, he has the ability to shed running backs and tight ends and he even makes some tackles while he’s actively being blocked.
