Kyle Van Noy is a very interesting prospect.

The former BYU Cougars’ defensive end/linebacker isn’t one the most highly-touted prospects, but he had an excellent college career.

According to Tony Pauline of Draft Insider, the Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens are showing the most interest in Van Noy.

"More and more teams are looking to plug traditional 4-3 outside linebackers on the inside of a 3-4 alignment. As posted on Twitter earlier, the Philadelphia Eagles visited Christian Kirksey earlier this week with designs on using him at ILB in their system. Arizona State outside linebacker Carl Bradford is getting the same consideration as is Kyle Van-Noy of BYU, the highest rated of the three. Van Noy looks like a solid second round choice in two weeks and is receiving the greatest amount of interest from the Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens. Half those teams project Van Noy to the inside."

Van Noy had 152 career tackles, 61.5 for loss, 26.0 sacks and seven interceptions in his four-year career.
