The easy answer is George Karlaftis.
But, as we all know, George gets doubled, hell, even triple teamed, often.
With that happening, we needed a linebacker to dominate and step up, if two or three are blocking George, no one can get up to all of the Linebackers.
Enter 3 year starter, Jalen Graham, who has grown tremendously from year 2 to year 3. I think there are a few things that have happened for his growth to occur.
- A new defensive scheme, that is aggressive and has linebackers playing down hill.
- Graham’s growth as linebacker, stems from dedication in the weight room and film room.
