With the NFL trending towards smaller off-ball linebackers, Oregon’s Noah Sewell is looking to buck that trend. At 6’3 and 250 pounds, Sewell believes that he’ll be able to effectively man the middle of a team’s defense at his current weight.
“I am on the heavier side of the scale, but I like to kind of steer away from those typical linebackers. I like to be unique with my weight,” Sewell said while speaking to reporters at the NFL Combine today.
Sewell is meeting with the Steelers today in Indianapolis, and his height and weight profile is much more reminiscent of linebackers like James Farrior than Devin Bush.
