Moved from Safety to LB. Hybrid type. Tore his ACL celebrating. lol

The Bolts are going to have to invest in more recovery techniques to keep up with Drue.

Drue Tranquill LB, ND

Height: 6-2, Weight: 234

Tranquill is a modern-day linebacker who almost plays like a coverage-based safety. He tested through the roof at the combine. He's much further ahead in coverage than he is as a run stopper. A-

We love the Golden Domers. At this point in the draft, why not get more projects for the line. Although, linebackers are needed, preferably, ones without an injury history.

That's what I was thinking when watching the tapes. I just hope he can stay healthy.

Pretty much. Love that he's a gym rat and a leader.

Some more perspective from the Falcons pre draft.

Nice to know about the last part. Hopefully he recovered completely from all his ACL tears.

I think he is talking about his recovery speed in coverage, not his knees.

I don't get it... this site has him as undersized and slow. 4.5 40 doesn't seem slow.

Quote:

Tranquill is a tough, instinctive football player with a high motor, but he does have some limitations. He's not the biggest guy and he possesses below-average speed. He will have to make his career but doing the little things and working his way into a rotational spot as a backup.

Perhaps I was too hasty in my judgement? I certainly hope so because I love our first two picks and reserve judgement on round 3.

No, I went slightly off tangent because I read about him tearing his ACL twice in another profile.

Ah, saw the article, thanks

I like it. Half of the battle is adjusting to a life entirely focused on football as a career, and it sounds like he has the discipline and character to get it done.
