He primarily lined up out wide in college and only occasionally covered the slot. He has good size for the NFL at 6-foot and 195 pounds with 32-inch arms, but he didn't do as well in the jumps or agility drills as you'd like. He still intercepted a dozen passes in his five-year Jackrabbits career.

He spent five years with the Volunteers and appeared in 61 games during that span. He was reasonably productive for an interior lineman with 18 tackles for loss and 13 passes defensed. The Saints are already running deep at defensive tackle so he'll need to work hard to stand out

Powell appeared in 43 games, often at middle linebacker, and was named a team captain last season despite suffering an offseason Achilles injury that cost him a few games. Still, he's a three-year starter. He weighed in at 6-foot-4 and 239 pounds but is still working his way back to full health after hurrying through rehab last summer.
