Adrian Hubbard OLB Alabama 6'6 252

STRENGTHS Exceptional length and overall size for a rush linebacker. Good hand strength to leverage the edge. Flashes pass-rush ability -- nice bend and balance. Flattens down the line and is athletic enough to string out plays to the sideline. Is strong enough to set the edge, shed and defend the run. Good take-on strength and anchor.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif OT McGill 6'5 321

STRENGTHS Looks the part with outstanding upper-body strength and massive quads. Stout anchor in pass protection. Violent shock in his punch. Plays with a nasty temperament and seeks to bury defenders into the ground. Aggressive run blocker -- runs his feet on contact and plays beyond the whistle. Is physically and mentally tough and will play through pain (fought through a torn left labrum injury as a senior and never took himself out of a game or missed time). Highly intelligent (in medical program) and football smart.

I would like to see the twin towers of Rufus Johnson and Hubbard at OLB

Tardif is a smart guy (pre-med), good blocker with a mean streak...move him to center.

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

I'd like either of these guys but I don't think a 6'5" Center is a good option for a QB that already throws on his tip-toes quite often.
