Henry Coley

Position: 4-3 Mike Linebacker

Breakdown:

The hard-hitting thumper was Virginia’s mike-linebacker his junior and senior seasons, taking over the position after Steve Greer’s graduation. He earned Second-Team All-ACC honors in 2014 after his eight-sack performance.

Coley provided consistent play against the run and as a pass-rusher, but the Bayside High School product struggled in pass coverage. At the end of the season, he did not play in nickel situations.

Coley — who measured in at 6-1 and 239 pounds on Monday — cranked out 23 repetitions on the bench press at Virginia’s pro-day.

The former Virginia captain could provide a steady presence as a two-down linebacker. Unfortunately, though, as NFL teams continue to use more nickel looks, Coley’s opportunities could be limited.

His path onto an NFL roster involves continued excellence against the run and superb special teams play _ much like Virginia alum and current Jacksonville Jaguar LaRoy Reynolds demonstrated in his draft experience two seasons ago.

Projection: undrafted
