2016 NFL Draft Preview: Five Intriguing Outside Linebackers

If there’s anything we learned from watching the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl last season, it’s that there’s nothing more dominant and impactful in a football game than a relentless pass rush.

The Kansas City Chiefs have had this throughout their storied history, resulting in the nickname “Sack City” thanks to players like Art Still, Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, Jared Allen and now Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.

But injuries and age are catching up with the players who’ve been making an impact for them on defense recently.

While pass rush can come from anywhere, the target is normally set on the outside linebacker position.
