In a division that boasts Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford (for now) and Teddy Bridgewater, it’s imperative to have speed off the edges to keep the quarterbacks on their heels. The Bears have a lot of needs, but for John Fox to continue reshaping his team, Chicago must look to defense in the Black and Blue Division.
“Reggie Ragland is one of the most freakish athletes in this draft. As the captain of Nick Saban and Kirby Smart’s defense, he has plenty of brains to along with his athletic abilities.
Ragland has the speed to pick up coverage out of both the backfield and against five-wide sets. He also has the quickness, agility and ball skills to pound the run game. East-west. North-south. The man is like a spiderweb in the middle of the field.
Be prepared for Reggie Ragland to become the next great linebacker out of a school that produces the position like an assembly line. He’s an instant impact player, and a guy who will be working on an island within three seasons.
