2008 NFL Draft: Top Linebackers

Posted Apr 22, 2008

North Carolina's Hilee Taylor is appearing on NFL radars after a solid senior season (10.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles). Played defensive end for the Tar Heels, but at 6-3 and 242 will move to outside linebacker in the pros. Not invited to the NFL combine, he turned in a 4.58-second 40-yard dash on his pro day. Don't look for him until the late rounds, but at least now you can look for him. (Charlotte Observer)
