Left Inside Linebacker:
1. C.J. Mosley: Entering his third season, this Alabama linebacker has become one of the best in the NFL. While Luke Kuechly gets a ton of attention, Mosley’s stellar play has gone under the radar. Mosley is one of the quickest and strongest linebackers in football. With the departure of Daryl Smith, it is now Mosley’s defense to lead.
Mosley had 117 tackles last season (one less than Kuechly). In his rookie season, Mosley had 133 tackles. In two years on the job, he has racked up seven sacks and two interceptions. The point here is that Mosely is one of the most productive linebackers in football.
2. Arthur Brown: The Ravens traded up in the second round of the 2013 draft, to get Arthur Brown. Brown has made a minimal impact since he arrived on the scene. If you google his name, your results will be of an English rock singer from the 1960’s. That kind of sums up the problem right there. Brown has been mostly irrelevant since being drafted. He has just 17 tackles and a half of a sack.
