North Carolina's Zach Brown emerging as top linebacker prospect

Posted Sep 28, 2011
This season, Zach Brown has been dominant, making impact plays in every facet of defense. He has elite speed in pursuit and when he gets close to ball carriers or quarterbacks, Brown shows an explosive burst to finish plays. Another skill that should translate in the NFL is his initial quickness as a pass rusher. Brown could be in position to challenge as the first linebacker drafted in 2012. (Sporting News)
