Northwestern football season in review: Linebacker player grades

The linebackers were Northwestern's best position group, so that means high grades across the board

With Northwestern's regular season over, and only the bowl game remaining, it's time to evaluate the Wildcats' 2015 season. Over the next two weeks, between Monday, Dec. 14 and Christmas, we'll be going position by position and doling out grades to every Northwestern player that was a significant contributor this year. We'll start with the quarterbacks, progress through the offense, move over to the defensive side of the ball, and then finish up with special teams and coaches on Christmas Eve.

All last week we looked at the offensive side of the ball for Northwestern.
